Best way to decrease the internal volume of a sealed speaker?

I have a very fine sealed 0.75 cu foot cabinet that I would like to reduce the internal volume to about to about 0.45-0.65 cu feet. There is limited space to add things like bricks, pavers etc inside.
I am thinking of using some plastic containers with lids glued to the inside cabinet. Should they be filled with sand?

I second Black Hole 5 - I used it on a DIY speaker project.  It is meant to go only behind your drivers for rear wall dampening.  If you put too much (like the entire internal speaker) you will rob the speaker of bass.

As Bdp24 mentions, it comes with a very strong adhesive backing.
