Can I put a subwoofer that calls for a 1.1 or 1.35 Cu. Ft. Box in a truck box at 0.9?

[QUOTE="falconman515, post: 8177719, member: 658164"] Ya I was thinking the same thing. Thats my problem I think in trying to go with a full size subwoofer for may small box at 0.9 cu. ft. and not looking at just getting a shallow mount sub. The shallow mount subs in my price range are just junk seems like ... and I know I can't get that real low end that I would like to see with a shallow sub. So I started looking at somewhat full size subs as my box let's me put in a sub with about 6" to 7" of mounting depth ... BUT, I still have to go back to the fact that my box is very tiny since it's basically a truck shallow enclosure and not a lot of these subs are made for enclosures that size .... The PowerBass one I was wanting says it calls for a 1.5 cu. ft volume enclosure .... I just don't think it's good for the sub or I will get out of it what I want plugging a sub wanting 1.5 in a box thats 0.9 I wish they would just perform regardless and maybe not be the best they would be if they we're in the 1.5 box you know ... I am not looking for Competition type sound or bass ... this is just a sub to add some sweet bass to my stock stereo in my GMC Sierra trauck is all. [B]If I put a sub wanting 1.1 to 1.5 cu. ft. of volume in this 0.9 box what is the downside? Is it bad for the sub? Will is sound really bad? If it's okay to do but lessens the SQ of the sub, would it be worse then say going with a Shallow Mount sub instead?[/B] Just wanting to know where I stand with the option I am looking at is all.
