Need help with prebuilt box. Air space too big.

[97chameleonbird 10+ year member]

My friend will be running jl audio wx10's in a premade sealed box for his truck. The box has .95cubes but his subs call for .625. The sub displaces .032 (or something like that, shallow sub) so he is left with an extra .293 that he would have to get rid of. Is it worth it to try and take up that space with some sort of filler or leave it the way it is. He is not big into audio he just wants "loud subs that bump" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

If I were to take up that extra air space how would we go about doing that and with what product. Thanks.

*And I should add I am looking around and have been but he is putting them in soon and would need the answer soon.*

It's not my system its my friends and he already bought everything and would only go with the pre-made that fit under his seats. I on the other hand am going to be building my box. He would have put them in just like they are without knowing/caring. Should I even bother on it or let him just throw it in with extra cubez.

just use a couple pieces of scrap wood to displace the extra air space

this, if he doesn't, throw some 2x4's in to take up the extra space

if he is looking for loud subs tha bump then he needs to look else where, my mids have 4 more mm of x max than those subs do.

just forget about it, there is no way he is going to get what he wants out of these.
