xmax = 15mm

how much space can you get? 3" at least IMO.

i would have at least 3". here is a cool way of angling the front baffle so you have more clearance, and also so you have more mounting depth for the magnet.

15mm

where did you get that info?

Out of the link you posted - which was the owner's/installation manual. Said manual happens to contain the T/S (Thiele/Small) specifications of the DAT M6 subwoofer. According to the manual if you have the dual-2 M610 then the Xmax(mm) is 15. If you have the dual-4 M610 then your Xmax(mm) is 16.
Xmax(mm) = maximum excursion (cone travel) measured in millimeters

sometimes it sounds funky if it is too close to the floor.

Xmax(mm) = maximum excursion (cone travel) measured in millimeters

Xmax is usually accepted as the point where the BL is 70% of it's rest position.

Xmax and maximum excursion are two different things. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
