slightly under, exactly or over factory cf reccomendations?

[G6Zero 10+ year member]

alright, i have some nice boxes i found for cheap, but they're a little oversized. the boxes are .76 cf, but the speaker (older round solo-baric 10s) calls for no more than .66 cf. should i fill the boxes to be slightly under, or just at .66 cf?

p.s. - i have been running these at medium volume levels (high occasionally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ). will this/did this damage my speakers?

you should run them at the recommendations...they are recommended for a reason...BUT a little over wouldnt hurt that much if you watched your gains and used your head!

Are you taking in to account for sub displacement? If not, you may be dead on.

most, if not all factory airspace recommendations take the sub into account.

Polecat is a member on here who works for Kicker //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Anyways, I'd make the box slightly larger than .66cuft so that it drops down to right around .66cuft once the sub is in the box.
