What is a "Passive Speaker Box"

i have been searching on google and here for the past half hour...i cant find anything...

the reason I would like to know is because the TC-9 sub that i am planning on getting said something about a small passive enclosure...

heres from the site: http://www.tcsounds.com/tc9.htm
Recommended enclosures

The TC-9 subwoofers are engineered for small sealed, ported, passive or horn loaded systems and designed for high power capabilities. We recommend an amplifier between 500 and 2000 watts RMS per driver.

There is no single perfect box. Much of what we offer is merely a general guideline to get you started. All of our system recommendations are geared for flat response but it is important to note that we do not show the recommended EQ necessarily for true in room liner frequency response. At a minimum, we strongly encourage the use of a high pass filter to prevent over excursion and potential mechanical damage to the driver in any given system design.

i know what the others are (sealed and ported)...but what is passive?

thanks....its probably a simple answer and im a retard...lol
