Enclosure advice needed

[Tim42019]

I am currently running 2 kicker Compvr 12's(43cvr122) on a kicker 43cxa600.1 mono block in a sealed enclosure coming in @ 1.20 cu.ft.per sub. The sealed min recommendation are 1 cu.ft per sub and max of 4.6 cu.ft per sub. I have a small trunk so going 4.6 cu.ft per sub is not a option for me I can maybe fit 2.5 cu.ft. per sub. So my question is should I go with a ported box or stick with a sealed box and if I go with a larger sealed box, like going from 1.20 cu.ft. to 2.0 cu.ft will I notice a difference? If I go with a ported box what size should I be shooting for and what Hz should I tune the ports? All advice appreciated! I know a lot of people do not like kicker and that's okay but please don't just comment to tell me to get another brand. Kicker is relatively inexpensive and not that bad lol. Thank you in advance for any help.

Go with the largest box you can fit and do ported. On the bright side at such low power levels you can likely get away with very little port area.
