id max enclosure

I posted this in general discussions but realized it should probably be here.

Im wanting to tap into the wealth of knowledge on this site for a little help with my build. currently I have a little set up that consists of....

03 camry

arc 3 way black component set (that I finally finished the pods)

2 arc ks 300.4

1 crossfire bmfd 1000.1

1 arc ks 1200.1

(also the ps8 will be here Thursday)

the question I have is my sub configuration. I have a idmax 12 d4 that im thinking of using, or a idmax 10" d2. the problem is should I seal it port it or bandpass it? I will have my wood today and im going to try 12 ply birch. much lighter and much stronger than 1"+ mdf. the arc front stage sounds great but not ear piercing, just a nice blend of sound and I want the same for the sub. I am worried that they will not be able to keep up with the sub. the 6 1/2" is not the loudest it is a little less than I thought it would be, but it goes great with the 4 and tweeter. The arc ks 1200.1 is the amp I will be using, I just had the crossfire laying around to try with the id max 10" for the ohm configuration if I needed. I know its a fine line but I want that clean sound but still have some lows and spl if needed..(again I know its a fine line) any of your advice is welcome, I know there are a lot of builders here and I want to look at all avenues before I build my enclosre.

 
I would go with a ported box 2 cubes tuned to 32 hz. I am never satisfied with a sealed set up since I always end up wanting more volume. The IDmax will sound great in that box and if it is too loud for the front end then just turn it down at least you will have the option to crank it.
