I might be making a trade for 3 8" Infinity 860W Subs. I am debating on running all 3 sealed or just 2 ported. I don't have room to run 3 ported and still fit our huge baby stroller. What are your opinions?

What subs? Assuming they are the Reference, you don't need a huge enclosure either way. Sealed or ported use about 0.5 ft^3 per speaker. If you go ported add another 0.5 ft^3 or thereabouts of volume for the port. Even all three speakers in a vented enclosure shouldn't take up more than 2.5 ft^3 of space accounting for all displacements. This is all based on some rough modeling with BBP6.
