Which 6.5 inch speakers on Tower?

I just bought some of Raul's speaker cans off of Ebay and was wondering what 6.5's everyone recommends. I've been looking at the Polk 2 ways (model # DB650) from Circuit City but would like some input from others.

Only ones that fit nicely/perfect are the MB Quarts. They are what the cans are made for. ALL other grilles will leave an exposed edge. Some folks on the board have made others work by painting the exposed edges.

Here's the link to my build with pics etc. The only thing that I changed is the switch. I put a matching switch in instead of the toggle. Much nicer looking.

I have stock of a variety of 6.5 coax speakers. If you can measure the bolt circle diameter on the can flange I can suggest some speakers that will fit. Note that typical diameters are 140mm, 150mm, 155mm, 165mm.

Just FYI. Other speaks will fit in the hole. It the grilles that won't fit flush with the outside of the can. I suppose you could buy cheaper speaks and buy the MBQ grilles from a dealer...
