Although I'd say go sealed, best all-around, IMO. Rock or anything with a faster BPM sounds dirty in a ported enclosure. Hip-hop sounds good on anything.

Re: Subwoofer box help
I mostly listen to rock. It doesn't matter now guys I got a box and I like the way it sounds. I have always preferred a ported box to a sealed when it comes to hatchbacks/suv's. Sealed boxes sound good in truck cars.
