It might be before the carpet went on. The infinity 1060 diameter is 10 7/16" and when I put it in to test fit, I had a heck of a time getting it back out. It wasn't wedged, but it wasn't easy to get a screwdriver in to lever it out either. (ended up just turning the box on its face and letting gravity work) By contrast, the Coustic I had in there first had a good 3/16ths clearance all around.
The RE is 11" with the rubber gasket/finishing cover. Removing the cover only reduces it by a couple of 16ths. It did not seem like just removing the carpet would have done it. Maybe Luke can weigh in on that one.
I probably could have removed the carpet/trimmed the box, but it would have looked like @ss. YMMV. Besides, to me anyway, it didn't make sense to hack a custom-built hand-made $200 box to fit a $47 Chinese speaker. I ended up RMA'ing it. Sonic was very good about taking the return. Good folks.
