I have some very low quality clarion speakers in my hull...and wanted to upgrade to some MB Quarts...What size can I fit in there, without having to change much (if anything)...I dont have my boat with me, so I want to order some speakers for my installer to put in.....There are so many MB Quarts...Can I fit some 216 (6.5" in each spot), or can I only fit the 113 (5.25")...If I can I would love to put some 169s in there, but I dont want to cut a larger hole in there...Want to keep it as simple as possible, but also upgrading from what I have (clarions). For those of you that have a Air Nautique, what did you put in for an upgrade..

They should be 6.5 so the 216 should work but make sure the mounting bracket isn't to large, it should be ok if you mount them from the back

eharaga, i installed mbq 6x9's behind the two of the orig. openings w/out cutting them larger just as an experiment. it sounded perfect! so now i've installed 6x9's replacing all the stock speakers. no sound restrictions. only crisp, clean tunes. go with the 169's.
