First and foremost fiberglasssing like a pro pics are gone just an FYI.But when you build a fiberglass box how do you determine volume? I know this seems simple but I'm confused on this matter....

You gotta estimate and can measure using the peanuts as noted.

if its sealed, you can be off by 10-20% and not hear an audible difference.

10% is the gain you get from using polyfill. it is noticeable.
I'm working in glass right now myself. making rear wheel discs for a triathlon bike.
