satish1015 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I did some hobo style cutouts on mine with a jigsaw: took a string, measured it out to the cutout of my subs, tied it around a pencil and bam. there's a circle on my board. just follow the line close as you can, if you're really picky you can just sand it a bit, no biggy I like that.. getting creative with the things around you!

Jessica Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) http://www.google.co...ved=0CHAQ5Q0wAA http://www.google.co...ved=0CHoQ5Q0wAQ pick your poison, two routers under a $100 each, one is even a plunge router. Go get a jasper jig for about 60 and your'e set to cut any damn hole you want. You can get a set of bit tat will do about anything you need for about 30 to 40 bucks. Best investment you'll make once. here are some bits. http://www.amazon.co...e=3116511&ajr=0] By the way, all this stuff is available at manards for about the same price. edit. Also i know all this adds up to 180 or so, but would you rater pay some guy at a shop, or have tha satisfaction of doing it yourself?

Also after you buy it the first time, you keep it for a life time for whatever you might find a use for. And Manards is a wonderful place to shop for tools as well, they carry the real shit not shitty walmart brand tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
