If you are using it for an HT system, the larger sealed volume will give you a more robust and lower tuned sound. Of course, the CV's might have a bit of an excursion issue at real low freqs. My suggestion would be to build it and listen to it first. Then, if you need to lower the internal volume a bit add wood a little at a time and test it to see how it sounds. It is a bit tedious, but guaranteed to get what you are after.
I would listen at full size first, then make a pretty drastic change (IE: cut the volume in half) and see what difference it makes. If it is better, you have a starting point, if it is worse, then you know to try something in between first.
Personally, for HT, I think the larger space will be better. For music, it might be a little boomy so a listening test is the only way to find out.
Take care, Robert
