This is by far the hardest step. The drivers require a 71mm circular cutout. Center the supplied gasket, tape in place, and mark the cutout with a permanent marker. The bottom plastic is tough. I don't like freehand cuts with a razor knife. My Dremel with router attachment cut a fairly decent hole. In order to accurately drill the speaker mounting holes, drop the speaker into the cutout, center and secure with tape, then drill through the speaker flange holes from the top into the container enclosure below. Just be careful and don't slip and damage the speaker cone or surround. The speaker is secured with hex head metric machine screws (#4/.70) with a pronged mounting nut installed backwards. When mounting the speaker later, a long hardwood dowel allows you to hold the nut in place while tightening the screw.
