You won't get any more performance in going to a 6.5 over a 5.25. Keep the hole man, just fill it with better gear.

C6 Rear Speaker size upgrade
Hi all. Have a set of 6.5 speakers I want to install in the rear panel. My installer says it’s possible but just want to see if someone here has done it and how they went about it.

I never did it, but did think about it once.. Lots of trimming of fiberglass. Possible modification to the plastic trim also.. Not worth it, not recommended. Just get a nice set of 5.25"

yeah. Thing is I have a nice set of focals itching to go in there. I’ve seen a post or two online about it but haven’t talked to anyone specific about it yet. Maybe I’ll have to just get my installer to do it for me lol

I agree, I need to see some pics because I plan to do the same thing.
Did you use the adapters that @VinceC5 suggested? Did you have to modify the cover panel to make things fit? Curious minds need to know!!!
