    Lf ideas on how to cleanly do this

    So the outer shape of the door panel looks like an 8". Behind the door panel. The shape is obviously an 8in but actually formed to be a 6x9. If i cut out the 8" shape on the door. It'll be a literal perfect fit for my 8in drivers. Just not sure how to cleanly integrate the hole/new grill on the door panel.

    Anyone have any pics of similar?

    Are you concerned about the grille opening not being the same round shape as the 8" woofer?
    Measure with mics, mark with chalk, cut with torch, grind to fit, sand to finish, paint to match.

    Do it for them.

    Kinda? The circle of the shape of the grill is actually half plastic on the inside part.Click image for larger version.

    What about drilling all of those little holes out so the top is no longer solid underneath. Should only take 42 hours.

    Considered it heh but I'm sure I'd chew the edges up whenever the side of the bit hit. Would work technically but look like shit.

    The sound should "strainer itself" through pretty easily through those holes.
    Unless the ellipse is bothering you, just try it.

    If you did the drilling in two passes and used a plastic bit for the second pass, the holes should be clean. Oh and keep the speed down so you don’t get any melting and maybe use some water to keep the bit cool.

    The driver will only be playing 80-1200 hz. 2k hz if u include crossover. That well into the range of diffraction/ nearfield reflection. Trying to build an Sq system and i think having a smaller grill will definitely cause stage pull.

    Why not just measure the "stage pull" with and without the grills?
    Then we may know for sure if it I should a real concern.
