Nope I can answer this to the exact of it's design - just finished FOCAL 6.5" ISC 165 install this last weekend. These speakers along with about 3 other companies state their components are 6.5" however they are actually 6.75" which makes a slight difference. Also on that same note speaker sits in a 'Holder' per se, and that speaker is a 5 1/4" by OEM Default in the Base models. IF you unscrew this 'Holder' Which i will post pics if people wish to see what i'm talking about, you will be left with the holder Adapter which has 4 screws into the door panel. I custom built a MDF spacer for my 6.75's to mount to the default holes. Pretty simple. 6.5" may fit just correct in the SPACER OEM , NOT HOLDER, (that is a 5 1/4"), and 6.75 will fit with a Adapter. Any Questions, let me know. PS if you are changing these out, use a VOLTMETER to find Pos and Neg in the wires. There are two different answers to the OEM colors, and I just decided to use a meter to find it out.

Thanks
