C6 speaker mounting depth
Anyone know the max mounting depth on a c6. I know you can get over 3". Obviouslly the baffle will give me more depth, I need to know without a baffle figured in how deep I can go without hitting the window
Thanks much

I have Dyn MW 162 with mounting depth of 2 5/8" and they just clear the sled on the rail with a 1/4" baffle. So that would be 2 3/8".
I think that I allowed 1/4' clearance, which was my comfort level.
If the sled won't interfere you might be able to get another 3/4" to the glass.
I currently have a 1/2" baffle plus a 1/2 mounting ring for a total of 1" inboard, and no problems with excursion hitting the grill. However I wouldn't go much more than that.
If I had my door panels off (which is often) I would gladly provide more exact measurements.
Hope that helps .

what happened to my post from last night???
Anyway, I recently removed 3" depth as mounted on the back of the baffles, 9" Morels, did not hit anything, not sure if much room was left or not though.
Quite a bit of room until you hit the grill so more depth should be ok, on a thick baffle, mounted on the front of course. I do prefer to keep my speakers as wide apart as possible though for a wider sound stage.
