6.0 or 6.5 inch speakers

Im confused.
6.0 or 6.5 inch speakers in a AP1?
Ive read 6,5, but on ebay I find brackets to use 6,5" speakers.
And on JLaudio.com it automaticly recommend 6.0 inch.

I just recently installed a set of Alpine Type S 6.5 components in my AP1.
I had to cut the basket behind the OEM speaker to make it fit, but the speaker diameter was fine.

Some manufacturers undersize there speakers and come with a 6.5" adapter ring to mount with.

There are others that'll come 6.5" but oversized adapter plates also.
