If you're not going to go with a complete solution like OEM Audio+, then go with a company that knows their way around speakers, like JL or Integrity Concepts. Internal volume is incredibly important, and it isn't "one size fits all." It needs to work with the particular model of speaker being used. Properly ported boxes are a fair amount bigger than sealed boxes. They need more volume to work right, and the port dimensions and length play a huge part in the tuning frequency of the box. Some speakers work better in ported enclosures than sealed, and vice versa. You can't just take a sealed enclosure and sub, cut a hole in it, and call it ported. All that does is ruin your sealed enclosure.

The chief selling point of that is that it looks nice. Woo.
