Thread: speaker size?

The motor was bigger? Or the terminals were positioned so that it made it bigger? The basket was bigger?

All of those are different based on each subwoofer. And one thing to note, '6.5"' woofer's OD will measure slightly more than 6.5" and the cone diameter will be slightly less.

Sorry, I shoould of gave a litle more detail in my post. My bad

The only thing we ran into was the circumference of the housing/cone/basket... whatever you want to call it. The wiring mounts fit fine, the magent (motor???) fit fine, the hole location lined up but keep in mind we had Alpine fitted door mounts. I do agree that depending on the mid range you choose you will have either an easier or harder time depending on the size of the magnet and the basket, thus you will just have to make your door mount thicker to sit it flush. The biggest thing is obviously not to force it or to make the door mount to large you cant get your door skin back on.
As far as fitting an 8in in the doors, great idea but Matt, would you have to saw out of the door surround? If you think it was made factoy for a 5 1/4 to put a 8 inch in the doors, you would either need a big ass door mount and then put the door skin over with your fingers crossed or you would have to saw out some of the factory metal to compensate for the larger depth and circumference. I never run 8's in the door so you tell me.
