Foam packing peanuts should get you within +/- 10%.
Then you can fine tune with polyfill or wood blocks, when the enclosure is done.

Question about calculating volume of spare tire well...
Besides water, sand, peanuts, and beads... is there any other way or trick to calculate the volume of a spare tire well. ? I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata for reference.
I'd like to fit 2 kicker L7 10's in there. They require .8 cubic ft. each.
(Yes i did Google and search the forum )
Thanks

Length x width x height / 1728 = magic... It’s all basic math. You can get a really close idea of the size just buy measuring it all out. For example, if it is circle that is 24" x 8" with .75" of material thickness on all sides, you'd be at a volume of 2251.34 which is basically 1.3 cu ft.
Google how to calculate the volume of a cylinder and it will help you out tremendously. If it the shape is closer to a “D” you would use ½” of the calculated cylinders volume and then make a basic L x W x H calculation for the remaining rectangular portion. Then combine the two volumes and you’ll be golden of close enough.
+ or – 10% of the advertised TS parameters in a sealed enclosure is accurate enough. Unless you pull the TS of your woofers, you don’t need to overthink or over complicate a sealed enclosure.

The long and short of it, an overall internal diameter of 22” with a depth of 7.25” will give you 2755.9. 2756 / 1728 = 1.594907 cu ft…. so you’d be pretty spot on for your two L7 10s.
