box for your subs, which is better?
I would like to ask everyone's opinion. I have two 12'' memphis subs that I bought to put in the trunk of my 98' integra. My question is what type of box should I get for them? Should I get a fully closed box or one with port holes? Which box is better? Some people tell me that a box with port holes is better and others tell me that a closed box is better. What do you guys think is better?

Not necessarily. But either way...
Your integra, is at a hatch back or a 4-door?

more on the lines of --- a ported box will give you louder and deeper bass while a sealed box will give you cleaner, tighter bass with a better hit
are the subs designed for sealed or ported applications?

or or or or.....
a ported box will be louder than a sealed box in certain frequency, but a sealed box will have less group delay and a later frequency roll-off.
ported box tuned low>sealed box
in terms of overall performance
