what would they sound like? would they drop deeper because that are in a proted box?
would they still be quite punchy?
i listen to all sorts of music
or am i better of going for sealed, or possibly 2 12s sealed?

ported enclosures drop lower but aren't as punch as a general rule, and the enclosures have to be bigger. A lot depends on the specific sub model too, some work better ported than others

2 10s will be very punchy in a sealed box and would be good for garage or RnB etc In a ported box they will sound alot more bassy, but like DF said it wont be as punchy as if they were in a sealed box.
TBH, get 12s as they are a good all rounders and in a sealed box they will offer enough bass on drops/bass notes but will still have some punch for the quicks kicks etc

cheers 
im not major worried about how punchy they'll be, just wondering that if i put them in a ported enclosure will they drop lower?
oh and are 10's better for Rnb, garage compared to say two 12's?
ill be giving them both 300RMS each

RnB isnt that quick, so 12s would prob be better, possibly 15s. I listen to hardcore most of the time, bit of jungle and DnB too but i went for 12"s, and hardcore can be up to 185bpm!

for rnb & garage i would either go for 10s or 12s..only difference between is that the 12" will beable to go lower, and the bass will be deeper. However, the kick and punchy-ness of the bass/kicks will be lesser than that of a 10".
So depends what your after? Personally i would stick to 12"s, since you can wack anything on and it will still sound nice
Eitherway, i would wack them in a sealed box, they sound better
