question regarding volume
I got hold of a fiberglass tub for my wheel well.
The internal volume is 3.25 Cu.Ft. I want to get the volume down to 2.5. What is the best way?. I have limited access to the inside as there is a mdf top and only a 12" hole

Water, sloshing around in his box while he drives?
That paints a funny picture!!
Is wieght an issue? If not, some kind of concrete (not likely!).Otherwise, go to home depot and see if they have some kind of pourable putty that's lightweight. 1 fluid liter = 0.0353146667 cubic feet
Sand would work too, but very heavy...
I have heard of people use phone books to displace volume, each one is .15ish, but that's just ghetto!

As he already knows the volume, use the styrofoam blocks, they attach very easy and if they come loose then they will not destroy the backside of a woofer like a chunk of mdf can. They are also quite a bit lighter if weight is a concern. It is an easy thing to do. You can probably resin them into place as well.
I've used a shoebox that was sealed up real good with ducttape and resin before as well. Worked just fine. A little ghetto but we were in a pinch and it's what the customer wanted. Sub box - by Nike.
