Measure it. You can always make it stick out a little farther if you don't have enough room...
What sub is it for? If it is a sealed box, 2.3ft3 is kinda big isn't it?

Oh, sorry, I must have skimmed over that part haha.
Recommended size is 1.25 cuft. An extra cube foot for bracing is a hell of a lot of bracing... You might check out fiberglass boxes. They are pretty damn stout and you can form fit it into the tire well and will give you more room inside the box as well.

I agree with mrdeadman, fiberglass is worth looking at, gives you the ability to manipulate all of the contours and get as much volume as you can get.

Here is a trick I use, fill the wheel well up with packing peanuts, next remove the packing peanuts and place them in a larger cardboard box. Next, measure how much volume the peanuts fills up in the box (box width X depth X height of peanuts) . This # will give you your estimate of internal volume in cubic inches, so devide this # by 1728 (1728 ci in a cf) and you will have your cubic foot displacement. It is pretty accurate, works in measuring completed enclosures just as well.

Good luck

PS, I'm guessing around 2.5cf w/o woofer and bracing
