Default is this enclosure okay?

for the mag v4

with 3/4 MDF 8x14x18= .7758 cu ft

then add polyfill = .7758x1.25= 0.96 total cu ft

How would I calculate how much polyfill to add to a .92cu ft enclosure?

The rule is 1 lb of poly per 1 ft^3 of enclosure volume. So for .92 ft^3, use .92 lbs of poly.
