New to forum, and IB leave I found a new home. 
Installed IB 15 {4] horizontal in ceiling a while back. Well aware of the no-no about horizontal mounting. Stryke,[ they where then] when I spoke to them about this could not give a give me a approximation how much and how soon the sag would be nor how long before the sag became a problem. Just All guarantees where void if I do this.
Fair enough
The drivers have been in the ceiling about 6 mo inactive. It took me this long to get back to the project. I had to resurrect a Peavey bass guitar amp and figure and build a L-pad to match consumer line to 20mv instrument in. on and on.
All is very well thank you, so far.
Some friends claim they get car sick if I have to much gain on LFE. I think it's the ice cubes at 12.5hz.
The question I have is, with this vast wealth of experience here, how long do we figure I have before I have to spring another $400 assuming their still avail at that price? I, just curious, measured the cone depth sitting vertical then horizontal and after 6 mo of idle in the ceiling with a depth micro and I could not see ..002 diff.
After about 1mo of HARD abuse I still see nothing. Do we think Stryke is being overly worried or are we talking generations or worse yet, it just one day drops out.

I'm still in the stone ages as far as the computer or digital camera goes. 
The O Audio 15" comes out to 3.72% so they would seem to ok and more XMAX albiet @ 2X the price.
