Excellent choice! That amp and sub combo is going to sound awesome, it's one of my favorites. I'm waiting for my current Infinity sub to die so I can buy that sub.

I have my sub facing the rear, and it sounds great.

With a 10 inch sub, I usually only recommend to use a sealed box. Even with the power handling of the Type-R, 10's just don't move enough air to utilize a ported or bandpass box properly, in my opinion. Stick with the sealed, and you'll get more room and sound quality.

Are you looking for the box? Best Buy sells a 10 inch sealed box that you actually have to put together yourself. It's around $90 and is very simply to put together. The advantage of that is that you can make sure it is sealed and tight. When you buy a box off the shelf, they don't always sound that good. So build your box, use the glue they provide, put 8-10 screws in, don't use the zip ties they provide, and get some caulking for the corners inside. Then maybe pick up a small pack of Dynamat and put it on the inside. Then take an old pillow and rip it open, filling the box about halfway with it. It'll be one of the best boxes you've ever had.

Oh, and let the box sit in your garage for a week so the new smell can go away!
