To complete one sentence: some long throw drivers might have their cones actually hit the bottom of the rear deck. So Dnewma04 let us say that I wanted to mount an Audio Bahn AW800x with _+ 12mm of excursion or their aw831x with _+ 7mm of excursion would I not need to make sure that there is enough clearance, at least the xmax distance, between the rear deck and the highest point of the woofer cone area? Are there any eight inch woofers out there when at max positive excursion the highest point of the cone does not go beyond the mounting ring of the driver basket when in there would be less of a need for a 3/4" mdf sub mounting driver plate?
