I'd just cut them with a drywall saw rather than jacking with templates, etc.
It's only 32 holes.

Pick up a couple guys in the Home Depot parking lot?

Use whatever template floats your boat.

I suggest that you mark center lines on the template and use a laser line. We do this with a two person crew and we can finish the speaker installs in much less than half the time it would take a single person. One person manages the the laser line and feeds tools and unpacked speakers to the ladder man. There is only one trip up the ladder per speaker.

I have the hole saw with the dust catcher. I still wind up eating some dust.
Either that with the template, or the rotozip will do you well. They still have to paint and point so you can make an oops or two. You can see where the screws are, this will go quicker than you thought.

Wear goggles and a hat, go t town.

I keep a box of insulation hangers in the van, basically 100 pieces of coat hanger. Very convenient for hooks, thin long bits, feelers. Worth their weight in gold.

If it doesn't have that, his new house in 6 months will surely have it. Well, if not, I'm sure there will be another house probably 6 months after that anyways.
