Question Question about sub box volume

I just bought 2 10" MB QUART subwoofer's from e-bay, I just realized they need .81 cu. ft. of airspace ea.I have a 2000 f-150 scab and all the sub boxes i see are around .70 cu.ft.. Is this going to be an issue or not? please respond. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Sealed is fairly forgiving when it comes to box volume. Ideally you want it as close to the recomended size, but fudging a little is usually no problem. As little of a difference as that is, I doubt most people would ever tell a difference. Youll be perfectly fine running it in a .7 cu ft box.

If you want you can throw a little poly fill in the box. Sposed to make it seem like the box is a little bigger...personally Ive never noticed a difference with it though. Maybe if the box was WAY outta spec.
