Default Sub not fitting in stealth...

I just recieved my FiQ10 Subwoofer yesterday, and ive got the Stealth Enclosure from SubThump.

The sub does not fall right in, the sides of the sub. If your familiar with the FiQ10 subs, is rubbing against the enclosure. It's about a half inch gap from the sub being completely flush against the enclosure.

Should i wire the sub up and just force it in there??? It wont damage the sub or anything doing that, or should i try and file down the sides of the enclosure where the sub rubs to fit it right in there??? The sub will fit in there completely, just that its wider then most subs. So its rubbing just a bit.

I've used a dremel with a couple of sanding drums before , it's a safe way to do it but it takes a while.
I'm not much of a wood worker, so maybe someone with more info will chime-in!

Hey, let us know how you like the Fiq10 when you get it mounted!

thats what i would do also. you can get a bit that looks like a wood rasp that goes on the end of a drill that will take out material really fast.

i used a dremelon my stealth box for my RE SE cause it was way to big for the hole. forcing it down would possibly damage the mdf and i always find some reason to take it out and it would be a PITA to take the sub back out.
