Question
Hi,
    I'm trying to get the right size speaker for my car.  The measurement's go by top depth mount for example 1-11/16" or 1-13/16".  I know the size speakers I need is 1.15" what is the fraction to 1.15"?  It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out.

Thanks  

Answer
Hi Ryan,

OK, 1.15 = 1 and 15/100 = 1 3/20 " to be exact.

Now, the closest approximation would be 1 5/32 = 1.15625

1 1/8 would be too small at 1.125, and 1 3/16 would be too big at 1.1875.

I hope you can use some of this in your situation.
