What are the shallowest (top mount) 6.5" speakers?

[h4ldol]

The JBL GTO6528s and the Polk shallow mount (db651s and the dxi version) are the shallowest mount (top mount) 6.5" speakers I've found. Does anyone know if there are any others that are comparable? The JBL has a 1-11/16" top mount depth and protrudes only 1/3" or so, and the Polk db651s has a 2" top mount depth, so any other ones that are similar or shallower would be nice to know.

Massive SX6 is 1.66" with a tweeter mounted inside the woofer voice coil(point source).

Thanks y'all. Never heard of those brands, but then again I'm only familiar with the big name brands. Only problem is that the shallower the speaker the lower the rated RMS seems to be. My amp will be 50W RMS so won't be able to run these within the recommended RMS (although I hear that it won't matter too much to be a little higher).

That's not a problem. We always adjust the power with the volume knob in addition to the music constantly varying power delivery from our amplifiers.
