I don't know if you have answered this already, but what type of music does your son listen to? More specifically, how much rap/hiphiop does he listen to?
Some things that you will be sacrificing if you go ported is space, a ported box can easily be 2 or 3 times as big as a sealed enclosure. If your son listens to alot of rap/hiphop a ported box will be the loudest, with this being said it doesn't mean it will sound the best.
As far as going with a sealed enclosure you wont be hitting those really low notes as hard that are played in almost every rap/hiphop song, but you can't think that it still wont hit those low notes. A sealed enclosure will have a much tighter response than a ported one, and sound much better at the higher low notes much like in metal and rock music.
In all honesty 2 10's will be plenty loud and plenty of bass whether you go ported or sealed.
