what kinda box for heavy metal?

what kinda box would be good for heavy metal (90% of the time)and occasional rap (10%)?
i only wanna use one sub and i have a Rockford Fosgate RFP3210. sub has never been used. i bought it 9 years and had plans of using it, but i just left it in the corner of closet and forgot about it.
its going to go into a dodge magnum.

when you say tune to 35hz do you mean the amp?

Sealed box sounds tighter, but sub may require more wattage.
