13"H x 14"W x 15"D will give you 1.12 cubic feet, which after subwoofer displacement should give you roughly 1.08 cubic feet sealed

for heavymetal you definately want a small sealed box...too much fast snap and double bass as mentioned before to play in a ported box

ported is great for rap and crap that really has only several key frequencies
it'll give you good output.... but for music that has a wide range of sound that you need to be able to distinguish you need a sealed box

and also you want to stay around 0.7 cu ft plus displacement of sub with about 25-50% poly fill

he's playing metal not rap or reggae thats way too big for a 10" for rock/matal big sealed box will sound sloppy and uncontrolled
