I really like what ive read about the FI Q 12" subwoofer but my question is should i build a sealed or ported encloser? Im not going for the loudest system i just want the sub to pick up a lot notes and sound good.
 


Ported and tune it low. It will not disappoint you. just make sure you set the subsonic within like 3-4hz of the tuning frequency or you will stress out the suspension and start to break stuff.
 
lower if possible.

But it really depends on what you listen to.

I like to be able to hit 20 Hz with authority at the minimum.
 


Thats for the recommended box size.

I took a sub that had a recommended tune of 25-30 Hz and tuned it to 12.5 Hz. Was awesome.
 
I put my q15 in a 7.5 cube box and tuned it to 22hz and man was that cool. I like the lowwws...
 
flat response is what you want when i had the sa12s tuned to 23hz i could pull all the way up to 55hz and still be loud 138s from 27hz to 48hz

Sounds like you did it right the first time ;)

Lots of people have their mid-bass pick up at 60hz any how. Wish I could have heard that.
