Small Truck Subwoofer

I think my box is too small?
I have a dual subwoofer box for my 2 12"s. They are each getting about 1.3 cubic ft. I would prefer them to have at least 2 cu.ft. However i have a small truck and not much room to expand for a bigger box. How would i get them more room??
ADDITIONAL--->
Would turning the subs around so they face into the box help? That would allow for more room in the box.
Or i have heard of some kind of foam/stuffing that you can put in the box to make it sound "bigger"
Thank you.
->Fred... EACH SUB is getting 1.3 cubic ft. That is not the whole volume of the box. Obviously it's 2.6 cu.ft.
->It is a vented box.
Obviously you aren't doing any research into audio engineering. Do a proper search for recommendations, gussing will just get you crappy sound. Start with the manufacturer of the speakers (assuming you bought box and speakers separately).
What you "prefer" isn't necessarily going to do a darn thing for sound quality.
In actual fact, most 2-12 subwoofer enclosures are between 2.5 and 3 cubic foot, but they also range as low as 1.3 cubic foot. It is all in the design of the box.

Andrew, read my answer again, and try to comprehend what I am saying, and you will see I have told you most enclosures are, indeed, in a similar range to yours, but some are much smaller, depending on the space the box has to fit, AND the design. Size is only part of the equation. As a matter of fact, every subwoofer is designed for optimum performance with a specific size enclosure. Dumping insulation in without a researched plan as some advocate is also silly. You need the proper material of the proper thickness. Read the pages on the link I posted, and check the specifications recommended by the maker of your speakers. Makers of complete units spend a lot of time and money on research, you aren't going to better them by guesswork.
