im soon to be transferring my sounds from my corsa to a clio (when i get it) and i have noticed that i can have my subs in ported boxes aswell as sealed, i know sealed give u deeper bass and ported are punchier, but my mates got 2 kicker impulse subs which are rated half the power of mine (infinity perfect 12.1) and are quite deep for what they are and punchy! so should i do a new install with ported boxes or keep the one i got and not bother

I never rated the tightness of my old ported box. You can drive a sealed box much harder as you have a lot more control over the excursion of the speaker...
Personally I'd stick with sealed. Have been tempted by some high-order bandpass boxes though -- can give volume and great sound by the design needs to be spot on...
You sure your current sealed box is matched to the sub's right?
