Not selected yet 
that box is .8 and the sub calls for 1.0 cuft sealed so its slightly undersized. If you haven't already throw about 1lb of loose poly-fill in the box. That should make a noticeable difference in the lows and give it some more punch. Will also help the sub stay cooler. With poly-fill you can "adjust" the sound by adding and subtracting. Play around with it and post the results.

If the box is spec'd at .8 cu ft by their standards be careful because some companies when calculating go by the EXTERNAL dimensions and dont adjust for the MDF thickness which if they dont the specs are WAY off and the box will be even smaller than advertised.
Amick, get a sheet of 3/4 MDF and figure out what size, qty and model of sub your going to run and design a box and build it yourself. There are plenty of helpful people on most boards that can use box design software combined with your measurements and dive oyu exact specs and a cut sheet to build the perfect box for your sub(s).
The mention of polyfil came up and most people use polyfil to loosely in ANY box to keep the coils cool and to get max performance out of a sub. Even at exact exclosure specs. A little polyfill will help the subs and playback IMMENSELY
