how to cut a perfect circle for my 10 inch sub
So, like it says, Im trying to figure out how to cut a perfect 9 inch circle out of my sub box I just made. I have a JL 103w3-4 sub that just showed up, so now I know the mounting hole to cut. How do I make a nice circular hole. I have a hand jigsaw, but I doubt that will make a very good circle... haha
Thanks!

Yup, I know that trick, but I dont want to use the jigsaw. I want it to be a perfect circle. I was thinking like using a router on a pivot in the middle or something..
But I dont know how I could do that because towards the end of the cut the center would break away and Id be f-ed. LOL

ooh, the dremel is an interesting idea. I think I might try that actually!! I used 1/2" particle board, so I would imagine I could find a bit that is at least a half inch long right?
I mean a cutting bit, not a sanding bit

Using the jigsaw is really not a big deal. I've built plenty of sub/speaker boxes, and I always use a jigsaw. If you use a compass and draw the circle and get as close as possible, you will be fine. The mounting flange on the driver will cover up any imperfections, and the minor fluctuations aren't likely to affect the effective volume of the box.
