read the specs that come with the sub and make a box the appropriate size depending if it is sealed of ported

Correct. A sub moves easier or more efficiently in a larger box, if its a matched RMS then go for a medium box, low rms then a big box and if you are really juicing it then a small box will control the sub well. The box also efects the sound, a small box tends to be peaky up the top end with quite a harsh roll-off of the bottom end, a large box gives a good all-round flat response.
