That would be my guess... most 8s are around 7.25 to 7.5ish...

So need to cut 7.5 hole ?

 

[reflecting 10+ year member]

yep, just google other 8" subs and you will see that most 8" subs want a cutout of 7.25-7.5(some will require smaller others may need larger do to magnet boot)

Yep no problem. Just cut the smaller hole first. You can always make it larger..if you cut to large well...we know how that works...lol

no thread-jack intended but do you guys just take off the mounting gasket and trace that for hole size?

most packaging comes with a cardboard ring that supports the sub perfectly and is the right diameter for mounting. I trace this ring onto the piece I'm cutting. Just flip it over with the sub still in it to make sure that cardboard ring is a pretty tight fit around the sub before you use it as a template.

My DD never came with that, that's why I was asking. I had a Pioneer Premier that did.

Strange.....how did they keep it from flopping around in the box? I've bought 3-4 brands of subs and they all came with rings. I have some NOS PG ti 12's that I'm getting ready to mount that has a whole separate template that's the same as the packaging. I guess the only thing you can do is go by the specs, measure, or take off the gasket and trace. Easiest way to make a circle is with a nail/tack, string, and a pencil. Like a ghetto protractor. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

I'd hold off. I found a copy of the manual for this sub online and even it didn't have a cut out size listed or any recommended enclosures.
