That means the volume of the box is 2.5 feet^3...if that's easier for you to understand.

Use this page to calculate your measurements: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp

multiply the inside dimensions (inches) together and divide by 1728 that will give you cu ft

Default

1ft x 1ft x 1ft =1ft^3 (cubed)
1ft x 1ft x 2.5ft= 2.5ft^3 (cubed)
Converting into inches
12in x 12in x 30in =2.5ft^3 = 4320in^3

Multiply your internal dimesions together (length, width, height) and it should be atleast 4321 cubic inches.
