goyal - no problem on the measure. You did plenty fine job too.
re: adaptors. I might be wrong here, but I think the adaptor question was being asked as a means to mount a smaller speaker in a bigger hole. As a means to reduce basket diameter to a smaller hole? Who is doing that? Did I miss something? or are we talking theory. Just to be clear the min cut out on the Exile speakers is ~5" inches. After that.. the speaker wont physically fit.

Yes Brian thank you- that is the reality.
I have 6" holes and am working on the best approach to mount 6.5" speakers in them again.
Just reviewed the budget and bigger speakers are out of the question now.So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Ok, now im going to disagree with you If the hole is 6.0 and the center to center speaker bolt hole dia is 6.3, that leaves no deck for the screws to bite. In other words, the center of the speaker holes with be .15" away from the cutout. The diameter of a #8 screw is .164. The screw will break through into the existing 6" cutout.

Well, I glad they have stayed put, but how many hours have you put on the boat this spring since you installed them? A few good choppy days I see the screws breaking out to the cutout as worst, or hair line cracks in a season ro two at a least. I would suggest a backing plate for you as well. This is not about a particular brand. This is about 90% of the 6.5" speakers on the market. They are all very close in their physical specs.
