You can use fix base routers for speaker cutouts if you drill a hole to insert the
bit, it's not as cool as a plunge. For other type of woodworking the fixed is
better. You really need both types. But for speakers the plunge is nice and to me
the most important variable is horsepower. Cheap routers are useless when
trying to do work with 3/4" thick {or greater} wood. Then, to make matters
worse people buy cheap bits, cheap routers and cheap bits = bad results. I
would get a 3 horse router and some Freud or White Side bits.
Normally 3 horse routers are in the $300 range, but this one is $159 for 3 horses.

Another variable, do you want the router to be compatible with the
jasper jig?
You should see which routers mate to that jig.
Variable speed pwns, a must have if you ask me.
