Why can't I get my speakers to fit in my 97 Ford Escort?

Everywhere I've looked, it says that a 97 Ford Escort uses 6.5" speakers. I got 2, tried to replace them, and they refuse to fit. I measured the stock speakers, and they're 6". What gives? I have a 97 Escort LX 4 door. Manual windows and locks.
You are totally missing the point here. I don't understand why every resource I've seen tells me to get 6.5" speakers, yet the hole is only big enough for a 6" speaker. What I'm asking, is there something additional I'm supposed to do? It seems everything I read about my car online doesn't hold up when I actually go to do it. For instance, I found that in the front left door, the Violet is positive and Orange/blue is negative for the speaker. I don't even have an Orange/blue wire. i don't understand why every resource I look at is wrong.
 
Number one, You have a FORD... thats a POS...
Number two, if you have 6 inch speakers and they need 6.5 that should be obvious... just look and use your head. if they are to small then get bigger, if they are to big get smaller... pretty simple...
Front: 6-1/2"
Rear: 5" x 7"
there you go...
