You mean the opening for the speaker? Draw the template, drill a hole then jigsaw it out. Easy as pie.

Buy a sub box. Fabrication clearly isn't for you.

it doesn't have to be a perfect circle. as long as the sub sits in the hole flush and you can screw it down correctly.

If you can't jigsaw your way around in a circle and keep it close to a line then i reccommend a prefabbed sub box too.

draw the size you want... then drill it out with many holes... easiest if you dont have a jigsaw

i know that. i'm no stranger to DIY. my whole car is that.

but DIY also means you should be prepared to spend a bit of money to do a descent job.

DIY = Do It Yourself not Do It Shit

Take your time with the jigsaw and get the perfect cut. Nobody is rushing you.

Also make sure your jigsaw has a scrolling style blade
