Although David, and Sigmodes are correct the gained output they speak of is only a 3-6 db dise at the tuned frequency of the box. With your listening preference, I would not recommend anything other than a sealed enclosure. The sub you have will play in the box you have, it will just have a decreased power handling, and may be a little "LOOSE> Try it. If it sounds like ass, just try putting something that will reduce air volume in the box. E.G. bricks, 2x4's, or even styrofoam, although styro does have a bit of compression to it, untill you get the desired sound. Me personally I love the roar of a vented, or ported enclosure, but HATE the actual sound.
