bobbyd is an unknown quantity at this point

My sub enclosure is bigger than recommended.

Ok, I have a 10" Kicker s10d. The sub enclosure I have is about .91 cubic feet but the sub calls for a .66 cubic foot enclosure. Will I be alright?

Thanks.

You should be ok. The only thing that happens is that the frequecy range changes a bit. Worry if your box was something like 1.5 cu ft. then it would sound like ****.

Cut a block of wood to take up the airspace you need to get rid of and glue it to the inside of the box.

umm it decreases power handling a very small percentage but nothing to get worried about.

WhiteRabbit is a glorious beacon of light

increases efficieny, increases low frequency extension, decreases upper frequency extension, increases accuracy, but cna decrease transient response, gotta be careful.

you should be fine, sounds like a winner to me!
