Will a 6.5 fit in a 5.25 factory hole? I don't not remember but, I thought they were like the same I know that sounds stupid because one is 5.25 and the other is 6.5 but I thought the 6.5 would fit the factory holes of a 5.25. Thanks

What kind of car? If it is a civic then yes.

Generally the mounting holes are similar but the main issue usually comes in to play with the basket. Many decent 6 1/2's have baskets that wont fit into the factory hole with out some modification.

Well generally 5.25=5.00. It should be difficult to build a baffle and install 6's in that car though.

Id say its a 90% chance that they will fit fine and a 100% chance that if they dont it would be about 5 minutes of fabrication to make them fit perfect.
