depth of speaker > depth of box

If I wanted a sub that was 6.15" deep, but my box was only 6" deep, is there any way to make it fit. I have seen people grind the inside of the box out to make it a little deeper, and I have been told that I could just screw a piece of plywood to the front of the box to make the sub sit higher. Would this effect the performance of the sub? A deeper box is pretty much out of the question with the limited amount of space available.

mounting rings are my only suggestion. if you look at the box on my webpage marked "my box", it has a pair of flush-mount rings.

No problem grinding out 1/4" to clear the magnet, Unless the woofer is vented. If so you need at least 1/2"clearance behind the vent in the magnet.

Last resort is cutting a hole and then glass it in from the inside. 3/16" of glass is plenty stong for a 6" hole, which will give you the clearance you need.
