Rep Power: 0 maybe..maybe not.. it will reduce power handling a little and may cause a little overhang. Otherwise you'll just have better low end response.
What you can do is stuff the box with polyfill up the wazooo. It'll take up a bit of space as will the woofers magnet and could improve it's low end extensin even more.

Rep Power: 0 Yes.. but only because of the resonance of the small fibers. It doesn't affect woofer overhang in any way. Just adds low low end acoustical reverberation (gain) stuffing with alot of it would fill volume and thus lessen overhang..if they is any

Rep Power: 0 Overhang is cased by a lack of damping.
Damping figuratively is like elctronic/acoustical brakes. An amplifiers ability to cause a sub to stop and change directions. It's also a factoer with the size of the enclosure and the design of the woofer.
But a sub which suffers from overhang will sound very mushy and undetailed. The notes will all seem to blurb together. Basically sloppy bass.

Rep Power: 0 The larger the enclosure, the better the transient response...Once you go bigger than a QTC of .5, your box will basically act like a free air setup. Most manufacture box recomendations are for a QTC of around .9 so you should be fine. I don't know the specs of your sub, but I doubt being in an enclosure that size puts you at or under a QTC of .5...
