The only advice I can give is to make sure with whatever 6.5 speakers u use, that the mounting ring is trimmable. Different models have different mounting ring sizes and different materials used. For example, I bought a specifc 6.5 focal model. I have the model number if u need it. My buddy bought 6.5 focals but a different model. The outer mounting ring was a cheaper plastic and he wasnt able to trim them. Had to exchange for the model im running.
Any issue with water ?

The model number is IC 165. 6.5 midwoofer/tweeter combo. No issues with water bro. Then again I aint rolling around in rain. Im sure other 6.5 speakers would work, but just ensure the outer mounting ring is trimmable. This model of focal has worked out for me and my buddies who installed the system and they sound very good.

The picture you see of the end result are the stock speaker grills that come with the speakers. As best I can remember I believe I had to trim just a hair, nothing too drastic. The outer mounting ring needed the most trimming.

I have a set of Focal PC165 I took out from a car I sold. The mounting ring on the speakers are pretty thick. I wonder if they would sound better in a 7" headlight bucket since there would be more volume over the 5-3/4" bucket.
