Increasing mounting depth?

[Trepkos 10+ year member]

So my current enclosure is:

5.5" Top Depth

9" Bottom Depth

Its an angled truck enclosure with the subwoofer mounting holes positioned less than half an inch above the bottom of the enclosure. I guess, mathematically, that my general mounting depth options float about in the 4.5" inch area(this allowing 1.5"'s of breathing room.) That is by dividing the two depth's, subtracting 1.25" from the 5/8 mdf thickness so the mounting depth may be a few tenths of an inch higher.

So pretty much I tested this theory as the Kicker CompVT's fit perfectly with their 4.3" mounting depth but the CompVR's did not fit with their 6.3" mounting depth.

I'm brainstorming if I can possibly create a new box that would fit the space needed with minimum conflicts regarding the seat. Following similar width and heights but with an increase in the depth.

I want to get at least 6.5" mounting depth to open up a lot of different options on subwoofers.

Any ideas or tips?

Jus make a new baffle until you have the MD you want

Yeah if it's going behind the seat you won't see it anyway. Just cut an MDF ring to use as a spacer.

Downfire it. Did 2 10" CVR's in a F-150 reg cab a couple weeks ago, Sounded pretty good
