Speaker size ( of course it does but how much ). Will there be a huge difference between a set of 5 1/4 and 6 1/2 if they are in the same product line? I found some coaxes I really want but they are 5.25. They are SUPER FUCKIN RARE, maybe. Ive only seen em once before so rare to me I guess.

other brand you will get nice mid bass out of the 61/2 but not so much out of the 51/4
so it depends on what kinda music you listen to and what you want out of your system.

Generally speaking 6.5's have more midbass and 5.25's have better midrange. If you get a set of 5's you might want to consider adding dedicated midbass up front for an even better experience than 6.5's

it really does imo. the midbass range for your front speakers is imo the most difficult part to blend. so even though the difference between the range of a 5.25 and a 6.5 maybe 20-30hz, it represents a very critical range.
but if its all you can fit....its all you can fit
