6.5" seems big since the diameter of the speaker hole is only 5" ???

oh....I have 6.5s in my '79 Not sure what the hole diameter is/was then

Had 6.5" Sparkamatics when I got it, and the hole didn't look cut.

I know you can fit a 5 1/4" or 6 1/2" speaker. I have 5.25"s in my 77 truck, and 6.5"s in my 79 bronco. Both holes are exactally the same, and neither was cut.

6.5" is correct.

I have Sony's in mine.

Memphis Studios in mine. Sounds GREAT! Been asked what size sub I have in my truck more than a few times. Not bad for two 6.5"ers!

(I listen to lots of rock BTW, especially 80s hair)
