Re: box too small?
You need to measure the length, width and height of the box.
Does the box have any holes in it besides the hole cutout for the sub?
If it donesn't then it's sealed.

Re: box too small?
Ported could be an issue as usually it's tuned to the specs of the subs that were in the box. Maybe cover the ports and make the box sealed.
Need dimensions first.

Re: box too small?
to know what size is correct, you need to know the specifications of the subs you have now. a ported box is going to sound funny if its not built to the sub. if you're not sure how to measure dimensions and you don't have the sub specs, you may be better off sealing up the box and just running it that way. sealed boxes are a lot more forgiving on response than ported if made a bit off in size
