I ordered a pair of kick-panel speaker enclosures from Morphenspectra and they arrived last week. If anyone is considering a pair I'd say go for it. The quality is very good. Nice fiberglass work and very sturdy. The finish is smooth and shot with matt black paint. I think I will refinish with a satin black.
The speaker openings are not cut, so I assume you use the template that typically comes with speakers for that. I'm not sure what type cutting tool I should use to cut the fiberglass. Does anyone have a suggestion? Would a fine blade in an electric jig saw work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Should you cut from the front or back to avoid splintering? Mike |

making a template & using the dremel would work great.
the jig saw would be fine too. you would want to cut from the back, all of the chips would not be seen that way. good luck! BRIAN |

Morphenspectra, Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have a 5" hole saw in my tool box, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I guess it might be jig saw time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
Acox914, what type Dremel bit are you refering to when you say "spiral saw tool". I have a Dremel tool with assorted bits. Is it the small circular saw bit? Mike |

search http://www.mcmaster.com/ for 3979A34
Just got some for an unrelated job. They work great but might be a little hard to cut a straight line. They are pioleted at the end so if you could afix a round object on the back side (coffee can) of the right size, you could follow it around. Mcmaster is awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

looks alot like a drill bit. very coarse pitch on it. does great jobs cutting through plastics and related products. think "roto-zip"
