Default Alpine Type R in Stealth Enclosure Question

My Type R doesn't fit. Anyone else have this problem? It might be a stupid question, but do they make spacers to go in between the sub and box? The basket of the sub hits the narrow back part of the box.

If it's hitting in the rear, the sub ring will fix the problem. You could also make one out of a small piece of MDF.

However, the problem I had with my stealth box was that the cutout diameter was a hair too small. I thought it was hitting the back, but I widened the diameter a bit and it dropped right in.
