What speakers will fit?

5 1/4 and 1/2's are generally aimed towards larger systems that have dedicated subswoofers and mid range drivers as they have deeper cones per depth, resulting in slightly tighter, more accurate low bass and mids. The larger inch or so may throw out a bit more bass as a "do it all" speaker though, thus 6 1/2's are recommended for basic systems.
