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.
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.

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

Since this is a car subwoofer related question I moved this thread to the car audio forum where I think it is more likely to get answers than where it was originally slated to go.
