You made a great choice. Just make sure you use the correct enclosure for the sub to capture all it's performance.

What are the preferred enclosures now days? Back in the day, a air tight (un-ported) enclosure as big as you could get was best. Now, after looking at rockfords website, it looks like ported is the preferred way to go.

I know both work, and maybe ported is better with some frequencies, but they need to be "tuned" last I remember.

As a rule-of-thumb, a ported enclosure will be more efficient and give better low-end response. But the enclosure has to be designed/built properly.
