The Homewrecker

Step 3 Cut Holes

After marking the centers of the woofer and midrange holes, I used a router with a circle cutting attachment to cut the holes. An adequate job can be done, however, by drawing the appropriate sized circles and using a jigsaw to do the cutting. This is in fact how I cut the holes for the tweeters which are rectangular in shape.

This is a good time to cut the slots for the mounting brackets as well. I made these slots 0.5" x 1.5" long to allow ample room for the bracket bolt to move while mounting. The slots are located in each of the 4 corners with exact height chosen so the mounting brackets will not run into the door hinges when mounting. In this case each slot is 5.75" away from its closest side and 5.125" away from its closest top or bottom.

Again, I used a router for these slots, but a 1/2" drill and a jigsaw could do the same job.

One comment here; As shown in the 1st and 3rd photos, I have tried to incorporate a small, childs bike into the build. I believe I am doing it wrong as1) the assembly is totally unbalanced now and 2) the bike can no longer be riden. May have to re-think this step when making the other three assemblies.

1st and 3rd pics show a small kids bike. This being on the 3rd page of this instructible. After thinking about it for a while and drinking some more red table wine, I may have used the wrong type of bicycle. Will try using a tricycle for my second homewrcker. Mabe a mountain bike for the third.......
