Thats a good question, I use those speakers and i am not sure I made a card board cut out and use that as a templet but never measured it. I took a protractor and made 1/2 circles and cut out the cardboard till it dropped over. Good speakers though I am on my 4 years of use.
Most 6.5" speakers have a 5" cutout size.

You don't need an amplifier for marine speakers, but we do recommend one. Regardless of how you use your boat, adding an amplifier will dramtically imporve the sound quality of your marine speakers. While many head units say that they are putting 25 watts or 50 watts per channel, that is the peak output, not the RMS output. 35 watts from a marine amplifier will blow away 50 watts from your head unit. Because you are outside and there is usually wind, water, and engine noise, you want to make sure that your speakers will be able to cut through that noise without distorting. When you add an amplifier, you increase the maximum volume at which your speakers can play and you also improve the clarity at all listening levels. So while you technically don't need an amplifier, the additional cost of the amplifier is worth the investment because it will make your time on your boat much more enjoyable. If you consider the amount of money you have invested in your boat and it's maintenance, an extra $200-300 for an amplifier is a rounding error and usually about or less than the cost it takes to fill your boat up with gas. more
If you are looking to to install bigger speakers than what you currently have, you need to to measure the disance from the center of your current mounting hole to the nearest edge. That edge may be the floor of the hull, it may be the bottom of a seat above, it may be an angle to the left or right where the hull bends and is no longer a flat surface. If you double that measurement, you know the largest possible outer frame diameter that you can fit. Next, you also want to measure the mounting depth behind your current speaker cutout to make sure you have enough depth to allow a larger speaker to fit. The larger speakers have larger cones and larger baskets. Usually, the larger the speaker, the more mounting depth clearance is required.
Think of it like a car or truck. If my car has 450 horspower and your car has 600 horsepower. If we are both going to the store to get groceries, neither of us are likely using even close to the amount of horsepower that either vehicle has. We are going down city streets at 45-50 mph. We aren't racing. Having 450 horsepower or 600 horspower doesn't matter.
