The tongue and groove was a piece of cake with the router. My template sandwiched it together with the plywood backing. Would have been nice if the lighting and fans were centered on the wood so i could center my speaker.
My main fear with the LSD product or the other one like it is that the bits/tipsblades would keep breaking in the wood.
...And they would most likely.
If i had a pair of speakers to put in i might have gambled but i had a lot to put in. I had the perfect size hole saw but again my fear was that it would get dull quick and possibly burn up my battery drill or break my wrist if it got wedged while cutting.
Yep.
The router was ridiculously messy, saw dust everywhere and allover me and i had to spent 5-10 minutes prepping each area but cutting was under 30 seconds for every speaker with no mistakes.
Ha ha I did a retro job on a house and had to cut in numerous ceiling speakers with a roto zip, and all of the floors were dark wood & the dining room had a bunch of black laquer furniture... I covered everything and dusted what I could... looked good when I left. Got home and the customer had just got home & was yelling: "WTF did it snow in here or something?"... The remianing dust in the air had settled, after I had left the house and was happily driving home.
This was back in my trunk slamming days
