yes not sure on the specs since I wouldn't use anything fosgate if you paid me too. but 1.9 is way too small for that sub. even sealed. you want roughly at least 3 -4 ported at 35-38

 
Taken straight from the RF site:

Rec. Vented Enclosure 2.66 cu. ft. (75.32 liters)

Vented Tuning Frequency 32 Hz

Port: (1) 4" diam. x 10" long

Port: (1) 10.16 cm x 25.40 cm

so by me going to 5.66cu.ft ported tuned to 38 hertz will i be louder than the recommened sealed box.

those tiny little box specs seem like a way for fosgate to save on some warranty returns. if you run it through winisd, you'd probably find a far larger number. 5.66 sounds like a better number than 2.66 for a 15.

 
2.66 cu ft for a 15 is way too small. I'd shoot for around 5 cu ft. net with like 50 sq in. of port area, then simply tune it to whatever your listening preference is.

Try the sealed then. If you feel you're lacking low end extension you might try to build a ported box to give you a little more output down low.
