i've never heard of a 6.25" speaker, are you thinking of 5.25"?

there are different sizes to fit stock locations and because some applications are very space limited

bigger speakers are usually better because they handle more power and can play lower frequencies

components are a type of speaker which has the mid range and tweeter separate and with an external cross-over, more power handling, better sound, much better cross-over networks

coaxial speakers have 2 drivers, triaxial speakers have 3 drivers, quadaxial speakers have 4 drivers, and so on...

generally, round speakers will be cleaner than oval speakers
