subwoofer basics?

i was lookin at subs and there are a ton of things i don't understand.

what does the weight of the magnet have to do with how good the speaker actually is? i see a lot of information with companies bragging about heavier and heavier subs with seemingly ever increasing prices to match, does it make that much of a difference?

when building or bying an enclosure, is the volume of the box just a blind volume, or do i have to account for the air space offset by the speaker and mega magnet?

what is the difference in sound between sealed box, band pass, and ported? what is the diffeence between ported and band pass, are they both just a hole for air to move through?

that is all for now. tia
