Not at all, most speakers have a different size mounting hole as compared to the overall diameter of the speaker.

if it's a 6 inch hole then its probably 6.5" speaker. cause the hole will be a little smaller than the speaker. for example, if you cut a 10" hole for a 10" speaker and then try to mount it, well it just falls thru the hole. ya gotta have a lil meat there to mount the suckers to

as far as brands whacker is right, its all a personal preferance of what sounds good to you. to me a set of 500 dollar components can sound good to you they could sound like crap and you could dig an 80 dollar set of coaxials better. and for decks, well big names are safe such as pioneer, alpine, panasonic and so on. i find that panasonic gives you the most bang for your buck and they are pretty reliable. but i run alpine myself. good luck man.
