Need Opinions on Level 3's and This box design

[shalizi 10+ year member]

Hey whats up guys, well i need some advice. I have a g35 coupe and recently had my 2 10l7's stolen. So now i want to try something new and get the dc audio 12 level 3's. Being that my trunk is so small its hard to find the right box so i finally found these ones

Custom INFINITI G-35 G35 Sub Box Speaker Enclosure NEW! - eBay (item 230508573814 end time Dec-04-10 16:02:30 PST)

Now my question is i can get these boxes done with vents and the guy said it would be around 38hz but he could go down to about 34hz. Dc recommends 1.5cubic ft for a 12 ported but these boxes are at 1.15. So would it be better to go sealed or ported? If ported what hz do you recommend i listen to a lot of rap, dubstep, techno, house etc

need a bigger box for ported and tuned 35hz or lower

I think the DC's do OK sealed

If your looking for output ported is the way to go, just build custom box's or find a friend that will

hmm any suggestions on some subs i could go for...i loved the output on my 10l7's but i wish i could get something that would have a little bit cleaner bass but delivering the same output or even more, thats why im going with the 12s. What are some good 12s that do well sealed. Im running it off a Sundown 1500d

The lvl 3's do quite well sealed. I've set up a couple vehicles with them in sealed enclosures and they sounded great.

is 1.15 cubic feet enough airspace for them?

The 12" and 15" LVL3 are very nice sealed subs...the 10" version leans more towards ported though.
