I put 6 1/2s in mine. Just try to squeeze them in there. There will be a few internal plastic ribs (in the housing) in the way. Take a dremel or whatever similar tool and cut them out of the way. After a little work and plastic creativity, mine fit fine. Just make sure your speaker isn't too deep so that it doesn't hit the window. I have diamond audio hex 6.5s. fit no problem.

i bought my 6.5's from crutchfield.com and they sent me a little plastic piece with my speakers and all I had to do was screw the speakers into the plastic piece and the plastice piece had holes in it so it mounted right where the old speaker was. its really nice and makes it so easy. I dont think it costs much, you should check it out.
