I'm building a sealed enclosure for my jl audio 10w6v3 subwoofer. All the information can be found here

10W6v3-D4 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Drivers - W6v3 - JL Audio

it calls for .55 cu ft for space. The box I designed with the bracing included comes in at .5568. I've been reading about sound deadening the back of the box. Do I have to change the size of the box if I add sound deadening? I saw a box with mineral wool on the back. Here's the link. I can get mineral wool at work if this is the rout to go.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.


My bracing looks like that except it is a single box. I can add or subtract space at .008165 per 1/8 to the back.
So should I add or subtract to add deadening to the back or is it better to go completely around the box with something thinner?

Or am I way over complicating this... Thanks for any input.
