Default Need some advice on stuff

Well Im gathering things for my audio system for my SC300. I just got 2 Alpine SWR-1243D. I already got some amps in mind to power them. I just dont know what box to get for them. As you all know the sc300 trunk isnt that big. And what im lost in is sealed vs. ported stuff and how big of a box I'll need. Thanks in advance im a complete noob in the audio world.

I'll start by referring you to this page with basic info on the 4 most commonly used "enclosures" (since infinite baffle is not truly an enclosure).

Read through this so you can start to decide what you want your resulting sound to be like.

The first question I ask my customers when they ask for a custom sub enclosure is what style of music are you listening to and what to want the output to sound like. From there the enclosure type can be more easily decided upon.

I decided to get a box built after reading all in that website. Going to my friends co-worker house on Friday. He builds boxes on his free time. Now my quest to find speakers! Anyone got any suggestions let me know!
