6.5

But size is irrelevant because it's the motion of the ocean that matters.

You also have to look at basket size. I speak from experience when I say that a JL ZR650 will NOT fit in the front speakers without some serious modification.

And what are these serious modifications you speak of? Making a larger hole? Bolting on a spacer? Trimming the door panel? Anything beyond 10 minutes of work?

You have to cut out a large section of the mounting hole itself, re-tap for new screw locations, and remove the plastic cup that protects the speaker from weather, then find another way to protect it. Once you do all that, convincing the OEM speaker cover to sit properly over the extra-thick basket of the speaker is...entertaining.

It's more than 10 minutes of work. Maybe 15 per side, if you're a professional that's used to doing it every day for a living, but for the kind of person who has to ask a forum what size speakers will fit...
