should use a ported or a selaed box with either of these?

you can get about 5 k's by the time u get a single w6

u can find a w6 on ebay for like 200-250. a k is like 160.are u saying they are to different to compare?

i think the k's would be a better value

The price range makes them to different to compare.

i will probably end up going with the elemental k. should i use a ported or sealed box for best overall performance in a daily driver?

I say sealed for most SQ, but will still get **** loud.

Are you shooting more for sound quality or SPL? Either sealed or ported will work well.

i want it to hit as hard as possible. but also sound pretty good.

If you want to hit hard, my suggestion would be ported. It will still sound good.

Either ported or sealed will work well in your application.

How much room do you have for a box?

I suggest you take some measurements of the maximum dimensions of your trunk that you want to work with, factor in the space that you still want for access and useage of the trunk.

should i basically use all of the space possible for my box?
