The "driver" is another term referring to the magnet/cone (the import parts) of the speaker. To really know how it will perform, you need to know what the volume requirements for the driver are, and what the air volume inside the enclosure, with the speaker installed, is. Since all the angles aren't 90*, calculating the volume will be a little trickier.
If the volume of the enclosure is too high, you can add some "baffles" inside the enclosure, with MDF, to take up space. It's also possible to add them in certain ways, so that it improves the sound of the sub, beyond what just having the correct amount of volume for the driver, would do. Bose does this with several of their products, to produce good quality audio with smaller drivers.
