Generally speaking to get louder go ported, for better sound quality go sealed.

The second one is made of particle board, stay away from it. The other two are made from mdf, acceptable. But Im dismayed NONE of the ads bother to tell us what the internal volume of the enclosures are. I guess you could do the math yourself with their dimensions, and figure out the volume yoruself. But it just seems stupid they do that.

yeah they are all the same....all cost more then building your own box...for a sealed box you can easily build it yourself
