depends on the speaker that you are putting in it. Most speakers only require a small port for pressure release and some are complete free air speakers which is where the vented box comes into play.

i may be wrong but i belive he only makes sealed boxes for the 12's for a dodge, i have one with two 12" jbls and it sounds really good, the back seat sounds like poo from the vibrations but the box sounds good.

Generally, sealed gives tighter bass (and requires more power). Ported gives louder bass and doesn't require as much power for a given SPL.
