What to do if subwoofer and subwoofer box cutout don't match in size?

[zorphon 10+ year member]

Title ^.

Basically, I am using an old box but putting new (different) subs in it.

However, the subwoofers advertise a desired cutout diameter of 10 13/16", but the subwoofer enclosure has 11 1/8" cutouts. Is there a way I can mount it in here?

only option is to double the baffle and cut the right size holes

He needs to bring the diameter from 11 to 10, he could try and just jigsaw it smaller.

how the hell do you use a jig saw to make an 11.125'' hole a 10.875'' hole? jig saw the basket of the sub to make it smaller?

new sub needs a smaller hole then the box has,,, only thing to do is double baffle and cut a smaller hole or get a new box

create a new front piece to match the box with the smaller hole size, or make some 3 inch wide rings to fit the new subs and attach those to the outside of the box.

Sorry for the misunderstanding ladies and gents, I meant the sub is smaller than the hole. As in the hole needs to be the opposite of sawed, it needs to be smaller.

haahah I like this. But yea, you need to either double baffle it (cut another piece of MDF to height and width) cut proper size hole. Or cut out mounting rings. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
