Plug a Sub?

Hmmm....It really depends on the sub. I don't think that you'll be taking away that much of it's firing space by plugging the port. A good 10" should be fine in a .6 cube box...but again...it all depends on the sub.
As for plugging it, I'm not sure what would work best. I know that Got Wake? is one of the people that would probably know, though!

With a box that size using a 10" woofer, I would remove the port and replace it with a Scanspeak aperiodic vent. Here's the discription from their catalog.
SSV Scan speakvent $7.00 each
Scan-speak aperiodic vents are
used in sealed boxes to reduce the
system Q of the box. SSVs allow
you to reduce your box size by
about 25%. Use one up to 1 cf and
2 or more for larger boxes. 4.3
cutout diameter.
I have used these in home subs with excellent results.

but if you really want to be ghetto, cut a piece of wood, and screw it over the port. you'll need some weather stipping to seal it up well, too
