    Use a sealed box. Sealed boxes allow for better power handling from the sub as there is more re-enforcement from the air. Plus they sound better, have a flatter response curve and are more forgiving of design/build flaws.

    I agree with MacLeod but some have had great luck with vented enclosures and their goal was SQ. It takes more work but it's doable.

    Have you thought about IB setup? I don't even know if those subs are spec'd for IB, just curious.
