doing a build for a guy with 2 kicker l5 15s here in a day or so.. would the easiest way to do the cut outs, be a jigsaw? this seems like its going to be quite annoying to draw/cut these things out.. anyone have any easier way?

actually thats probably not too far off.. most subs are kind of far from the real diameter.. like a cvx 15(using this because i just built a box for them) wasnt even 12 inches..

Just draw out the radius and go at it with a jig.

S15L5 subs?

mark the corners.
drill holes with a bit equal to the radius of the rounded L5 corners.
use a jigsaw to connect the dots and cut out the straight portions between the corner holds.
you end up with a square opening with smoothly rounded corners after a touch of sanding.

Blowtorch is by far the sh*t. Very clean cuts...

I was going to suggest a plasma torch and some C4... but ordinances vary from state to state.
