here's just the site you want to go read for pros and cons of each box type:
http://www.diysubwoofers.org/

each enclosure type and an article on it's response is listed in the left menu.
Very good site.
After reading that site, feel free to ask about anything it didn't cover, or that you still don't understand, and we can go from there.

Cool I see. Looks like I'm going with sealed. I prefer sound quality. I was in my friends Jetta with a 400 rms 800 max jl 12" sub with a phoenix gold amp. And wow did that get annoying. The sub overpowered the speakers, all I could hear was boom boom boom.

MDF is a type of wood used to build alot of boxes. each box does somehting differnt. sealed box has good SQ but holds back on the low end and output. ported gets loud but dosnt always sound the best (thats a pretty general statement cause sometimes they sound awsome) and a bandpass you can do alot of stuff with.

Sorry for any excessive questions but I'm slowly trying to learn more.

My question this time is, what's the different types of boxes, whats so different about them? Specifically MDF, ported boxes, bandbass boxes, and etc.
