If a sub enclosure isn't built to the minimum of a subs air space, what would
happen? would there be a change in sound or what?

it will explode!! and cause a monster zap to travel to your amp and
fry it. Also the possiblity of it travelling past the amp and frying
your deck is there too.

In a sealed enclosure it will raise the system resonance usually causing an
increase in output above resonance and less below resonance. With a bass reflex
enclosure you'll need to re-tune the system but as a general rule of thumb
you'll get less overall low frequency output with an uneven distribution.

Will this change the sound? Sure; but if you're within shouting distance of an
optimal design (within 20%, perhaps) things should work OK.

The bass won't sound right because the enclosure won't have enough volume to
offset the force of the driver's in and out motion. Instead of fooling
around with a sealed box enclosure to play bass into the trunk, find someone
who can help you with a bandpass enclosure with a partially external square
port which can exit from the top of the box through an opening in the rear
deck and play the bass into the interior of your car. P.
