there's an old saying in cars: "there's no replacement for displacement". speakers displace air to make sound. the larger the driver (speaker) the lower it can create frequencies. by this account there's no way you can replace a good 10" sub with a 6.5" speaker, it just doesn't have enough surface area. now, you can put an amp in and put in a set of 6.5" components and have a nice sounding system, but you will never mistake it for having a good legit sub.
