I take a peace of wood 1" wide(make u a cut)measure 7 1/8 pre drill a hole. find the center for the woofers and then just screw the wood down where it turs fairly free to turn and hold a sharpie dead center and turn it slowly all the way around.. bam perfect hold..

dam that's a smart move bro, I finished the cut outs already though. I used the rubber gasket from the sub and traced a circle, cut both holes for the subs then put that sheet over the 2nd baffle and did the same thing, double baffle with perfect holes nice and even. box is almost finished, I threw about half a bottle of glue on the sheet and threw the 2nd one over it now its just sitting on the floor with a bunch of weight over it. gna let it cure overnight and finish the job tmrw. dam I forgot, I need the bracing still! what should I use for bracing? I want something that's gna take up the least amount of space. only if I can find a threaded rod 26 inches long, that all I need. from top to bottom, should I do from side to side and front to back also?

is that size of wooden dowel enough for bracing?

It will work but I'd get some all thread. The Lowe's here sells 10 foot lengths. You could do both though and use the dowel for vertical bracing between the subs.
