If ishould port, will it be easy to make a box? I have never made a box before(seeing as this is my first set of subs). What kind of tools do i need, and what kind of wood.

Its best to buy a box man trust me if you need to ask the kind of wood all the other stuff may baffle you so if i were you i would buy one,

Go for ported tuned to 32 hz and your golden newbie gold .

as long as you aren't clipping your subs in that prefab box, when you move to a ported box, you will definately gain...
