Hey Fred and Toby!
Here's the scoop on interior heights as actually measured from the top of
the frame to the crown of the interior ceiling:
'47 to '49 13 segments is 75 inches
'50 to '52 13 segments is (Fred you can answer this one)
'53 to '57 13 segments is 77 inches
'58 to '63 07 segments is 80 inches
'64 to '68 05 segments is 81 inches
depending on the thickness of the sub and finish floor you will get varying
heights of + or - and inch
