You will need to the correct box sizes and port lengths(if you want it ported)so you can tune the box correctly, you can't just stick a sub in any box as this will lead to a poor sounding sub and can also damage the drive in question.
Have a look here http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=3 these guys really know there stuff and will help you in getting the correct box size, have Infinity got a web site?? is ther any specs for boxes on there.
Also have a look here http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=41 for a few guides to subwoofers ETC

As Lea says, you can't just drop it in a box and get the best out of it. I'd personally go for a sealed box if you're just wanting something to sound good. Read up on the advantages of sealed vs ported, but in short if you port, you can end up damaging the sub quite easily...

Agreed.
It'd be worth checking the suppliers website for details of your woofer. There are basically three types; one that is designed for a sealed box, one that's designed for a ported one and a third which can be used in either.
The volume of the box, and the size and length of the port all affect the performance. The website may list suitable sizes for these, so you can buy something which is suitable.

thanks for all the replys people i have been on the website and it lists 3 different size boxes two with ports and one without. been on the talk audio site (thanks for the link big red) and they say a sealed box about 0.75cf will be ok which is one of the boxes on the site incidentally so i think i'll try and find one like that once again thanks for all your help
