You should check what enclosures will work with your subs. If your subs can tolerate being in multiple enclosures then you can choose from what music you usually listen to and what sound you want from your sub. There are sound differences between the enclosures as well. Sealed enclosures usually are associated with tight, accurate bass. Bandpass and ported will increase the output of your sub but only at certain frequencies. Ported is usually a good choice for rock because you get more output but lose a little response. This is usually ok for rock songs. Bandpass is usually recommended for deeper bass, such as rap. This is because the enclosure will filter out frequencies below and above a certain level. This allows them to be very efficient in their tuned frequencies, which is why they are louder. They do, however, require MUCH more work to get right over a sealed enclosure and even a ported enclosure. If they are not built correctly the sound will not be good at all. The subwoofer enclosure is a major part of the sound of your system. Simply buying an enclosure off the shelf of a store will more then likely hinder the sound of your system. It can sometimes even damage your subs if they are put in an enclosure they are not meant to be in.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.MDCustomz.com Some subs perform better in a certain type of enclosure.

Subwoofer 'unloading' may occur. This is when the sub is worked beyond it's physical limits or excursion.

Sealed enclosure will give you the best sound quality, ported will be louder, bandpass will be even louder yet. Just consider what amp you are using, and how much bass you really want. If you are using a weaker amp, i'd suggest the ported enclosure, it will compensate for your amps lack of driving ability. But if the amp is of good quality go for the sealed enclosure. Unless you're a bass phreak dont do bandpass, it will sound the worst, loudest, but the worst true sound.<br><b>References : </b><br> Depending on which JL subs you have.
