To answer your two questions - the box volume can be calculated, based on the parameters of the woofer you want to use; the hole below the woofer is for a tuning port, which enhances bass response, and also plays a roll in calculating box volume.
For a 3"-4" woofer, however, a tuning port is almost never recommended - smaller woofers don't go down into the bass region enough for the speaker to benefit from a port. Speakers of this size are best sealed and combined with a subwoofer.
