I'll probably actually be going larger than that and end up around 2.5 cf sealed when all said and done.

I'm curious; Why are you going so far over the recommended volume for the enclosure?

So I can tune it to my car, my liking. You can always make a large enclosure smaller via stuffing, but can't really make it bigger. Plus, going with a slightly larger enclosure will help flatten the response a bit.

I'm not too concerned with the driver having a lower power handling capability due to the larger enclosure since I'm running a low powered system to begin with and won't be pushing the system that hard. Again, strictly SQ here. Not to mention that a larger enclosure will actually increase efficiency a little.
