A sealed box requires more power than a vented or ported box. (Vented and Ported are different). The last competition vehicle I made, the vented setup required 25 percent less power. This info was straight from Kicker. Kicker (or rather Stillwater Designs) has two levels of tech support. You talked to the reg. guys. If you buy their high end stuff, then you can talk to their engineers and stuff.
Make sure you make that box with extra bracing. Very important. I ran two 12" Solo X's with 4800 RMS watts and had to bolt the box with 3/8 inch bolts to the frame of the truck. See pic of the inside of my box I made. Keep in mind, my box was made of 1 inch MDF. (Mainly due to me seeing other boxes blown apart and the engineers at Kicker recommended it.)

My box looks quite similar to yours. Thanks for the expert advice. It's greatly appreciated!!:rock: :rock:
