Can i get both sq and spl if i go dual 12" sealed 500w vs one one 12" ported 1000w?
I like the ported rumble.
With 2 sealed i will gain more midbass, but can i rescue the rumble? I dont want to go 2 ported because then i loose the sq, plus needs a bigger box.

Qts of the subs is 0.3

I'm a ported sub fan, I had a dual 8" sealed box in my truck and didn't like it... lots of upper bass but no LF and no amount of EQ would fix it. So I built a pair of ported boxes for the same drivers and they now sound fantastic, no EQ required for a wide flat response.
Yes….but your enclosure design has to be optimal for the environment given the cabin gain structure of your car. If you have a dedicated trunk space, then an IB (infinite baffle) is by far the best option using drivers with long excursion and a low Fs.
Some years ago it was all TH based/inspired designs in here, now it seems sealed boxes are the gospel.
I went on a crusade a few years back, trying to document evidence that bass reflex is absolute trash. After discovering that the vast majority of ported designs are simply poorly executed I will have to side with @conanski on this one.
Absolutely nothing wrong with ported designs if it's done right, the benefits outweigh the negatives by a large margin IMO.

Given the number of variables that is unfortuenatly far too common. The source of people disliking reflex boxes.
