Oversized speaker suggestions - ??

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.

Don't Jinx it HAHA

I had different speakers in the same hole for 1+ year. No issue. (I'm going to measure it properly over the weekend, if it's exactly 6" or less than that)
