00_XJ Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Every hole I've seen for a solobaric has rounded off edges. Is this necessary to keep air from escaping or could I just cut a regular square? If so how do Idraw it out so that the rounded off corners are perfect. Also what tool do you guys use for these. Would a jig saw work if I was careful? 2000 Jeep Cherokee -DC Audio -Memphis -Audioque -SecondSkin -Pioneer -KnuKonceptz
Red-navi-916 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) when i cut mines i just cut it kind of crooked but i tookmy time sanding the hole so its all good and smooth and screwed my subs in nice and tight no air was getting out but on top of that i put some goo stuff that hardens and in case there was any air comming out in other words it dont have to be perfect! imo Edited January 2, 2009 by Red-navi-916 BUILDLOG http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61862 "98crewcab"Never a POS....just always "a work in progress" lol that's how we roll bitches!!!

kentb Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 yeah a jigsaw would work. on my l7 i only had a black and decker jigsaw and drill at hand and i actually made a box using only those tools. i was surprised it sounded good and loud. the hole doesn't have to be perfect just don't make it too big, make it smaller just to be safe then trim it off with a sander if it doesn't fit.

Red-navi-916 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 i agree with kentb.my holes are still small i shove the sub in there so even with out screws it stays... so better smaller then bigger... and the only problem u might have is the corners fitting... u will see what i mean when u start BUILDLOG http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61862 "98crewcab"Never a POS....just always "a work in progress" lol that's how we roll bitches!!!

David Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 if you bought the woofer new, it comes with a template, just cut to the template and you will be fine.

tahoexfixssd Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 draw the regular square and just use a large spade or forsner drill bit to drill out the corners so they are round and then cut the rest of the hole NOVEMBER 2008 SYSTEM OF THE MONTH!
