It'll probably sound pretty good. Personally I prefer ported boxes just because I like my music loud and clear with some bass added in. Anyway those boxes ought to be fine. Just some advice don't buy cheap subs just because they're name brand. Especially like the cheap MTX's and Rockfords, ya know the ones with like paper cones and everything, they suck. There's some subs in JCWhitney made by MB acoustics, they make stage equipment for bands, the 12's are like 40 bucks a piece or less, it's a poly cone, dual voice coil, extended back plate, and they'll handle like 500 max watts., oh yeah and they have a 96 db sensitivity. To put it simply they're kick ass subs for less money than cheap MTX's or Rockfords or even lightning audio. I have two of the MB 8's on 300 watts right now, they kick ass for 8's that's all there is to say. Here's my enclosures, I made mine small, it works great for the 8's but with tens it might need some ports. Sorry the pictures suck, the garage is too dark for my digital camera, that's why there's a droplight in one of the pics. I've still got some work to do on the back of the boxes, the hatch makes it hard to seal them, I figured out how I'm going to do it but I don't have enough time to cut out the patterns to do it, let alone cut the wood.

Umm, ported boxes are more sloppy and their cutoffs are much different. Ported boxes are usually used for louder bass and higher SPL, while sealed boxes tend to sound a little more "tight" with sharper cutoff at the end of the notes.
