A bandpass enclosure is larger because it is using the air inside the enclosure to get louder. Unfortunately this means you'll lose some sound quality for loudness. Depending on the subs they may hit "sloppy" in an inproper bandpass. They won't sound as deep, but they will hit harder.
Different subs are designed to performed better in different enclosures. Bandpass is generally considered crap among the car audio world because a bandpass box is engineered toward pure loudness and not sound quality. A ported box is the happy medium. Check out your sub on the manufacturer's website and see the spec's of the ideal enclosure for it.

Right sealed enclosures are smaller and not as loud but alot of times the cripsness of the bass makes it seem louder/stronger that it really is, from the systems that i've come across. But for the max power and sound bandpass is it.
