Question on Enclosure Size

[Ganglyminnow 10+ year member]

Ok I have searched around a bit, but have yet to come across a post that answers my question. I've had an Infinity Perfect 12.1 lying around for a while and recently got my friends father to make me a spiffy box.

My problem is this : he ended up making it too small //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif . The internal volume is approximately .88 ft^3...my spec sheet did not specify the woofer displacement in box (anybody know?) but I am guessing it is around .10ft^3 leaving about .78ft^3 net volume. Would polyfill help me out in this situation or should I really just get another box.

poly fill will help trick the sub into thinking it's in a larger box...as long as it's flufffed and not smashed...

the general rule of thumb is 16oz of fill= 1ft^3

play around until it sounds right to u!
