If you cut out a piece of MDF to mount over the hole, and then mount the 10" to that. The airspace should be of the correct volume for the speaker, also.

screws are always better than glue.

It shouldn't affect your performance a whole lot as long as you keep it airtight. Maybe a ring of silicone around the new MDF would help a little.

How big is the box? What is the sub you are putting into this box? Little more info would help.

Infinity recommends .75 sealed/1.75 cubic feet ported, your box is around 1.3 cubic feet. The Pioneer sealed would probably work well in that airspace.
