Nice box, excellent craftsmanship and finish, but there is no way that box is .69 cubic feet. I would say more like .3 before displacement, if you're lucky.

Thanks for the comments. I just took my time.
This is how I figured out the air space. I found an empty cardboard box took the internal measurements. It came out to 16 x 7.5 x 10. I simply filled the box with shipping peanuts and then transfered to peanuts to the sub enclosure.
This is what I came up with:
16 x 7.5 x 10 = 1200
1200/1728= .69
Is this correct?

Very cool. Looks like you could have a little business on the side.

A buddy of mine made a box very similar to that for the other side. No cubby hole used down below. I needed a box 17 liters in volume.
When the box was done I looked at the box and thought to myself "There is no way this is even remotely close to 17 liters in volume. I'll need a lot of polyfil to "fake" out the sub into thinking the box is really bigger". But, I was pretty much stuck with the size because that was where the sub was going. So we stuck a trash bag in the box and started filling with water and it started filling up pretty quick. We did 500 mL at a time. As the box got wider, dumping the water in raised the level very little. When all was said and done, the undisplaced box volume was 21 liters. I thought we must have miscounted so we did it again and got the same result.
The complex shape of the box is VERY deceiving. Looking at the box it's very easy to think the volume is much much less.
Do you have any pictures of the build? Would be interested to see your build on this.
