[QUOTE="Frraksurred, post: 86518, member: 544871"] Depends on what kind of music you listen to most. If you like rap's boomy type bass then you'll want to go with a ported enclosure, although a ported enclosure will take up more room. Typically you'll get a harder hit if you face them backwards which creates like a loading effect. If you like jazz or simply tighter, more responsive bass (kick drums) then go with a sealed enclosure, facing forward. You won't get the SPL, especially with 10's, but if you're after precise bass that isn't going to matter to you. This is also your most space saving option. Sealed enclosures are almost always smaller then their ported brothers. As far as wirering is concerned, depending on what kind of wattage you'll be pushing 12g-14g should be sufficient. I usually go larger then needed becuz it gives me the subconscience illusion that my bass hits harder.
