That is another option that is left up to you. I have done both, personally I like the sound of box with polyfil better. It seems to make it more of a tight sound, maybe that is just me though.
In short, I think polyfil makes the sub think it's in a larger box than it actually is. I think that is right, someone will correct me if it aint.

I believe the formula is one pound of poly fill for every cubic foot would be like increasing the enclosure size by 10%...
So
one cuft enclosure + one pound of poly fill = 1.10 cuft
I have a cold and my head is pounding, so I might be wrong there...

Actually Justin, I think you are pretty close to dead on there.
It reduces standing waves inside the box too right??
A installer once told me "if it sounds good the way it is why mess with it" but that wasn't good enough for me, so I tried it out in a box I made a while back and I liked the sound of it.
Like I said it is up to you.
