more than likely yes. that box is a resonator.

i plan on making a resonator plug to delete the box.

i have a 3d printed prototype sitting in front of me right now that ill be installing today for test fitting purposes.

that box is less a resonator and acts more like a plenum, keeping air readily available for when it's needed.

i do remember someone blocking it off on one of the facebook pages and mentioning it didnt make a noticeable difference in sound

the best way to get any sound is to have an open air filter.. but that comes with a list of cons as well.
