You should do a search cuz I gave a pretty comprehensive answer to this in the past.
Essentially: Vented boxes tend to be louder, play lower where you can hear it, handle more power and have less excursion in their pass band, and are bigger.
Sealed boxes tend to be smaller and harder to screw up.

ported boxes tend to be 3db louder at the tuning frequency, but ported boxes are harder to make and sound ike junk if not made just right!
Sealed offers higher power handling regardless of what some may think, are easier to make, and have a much smother frequency response IMO!
