Speaker Install In Aluminum Soffit
Hey guys we have 4 speakers to install in some aluminum soffit on a new home. I'm trying to think of an easy way to cut the circular holes that they will go into. Don't really want to spend $$$ on a new tool but open to suggestions. If nothing else I figure to score around a pattern with a sharp razor knife and "peel" it open.
Ideas? Thanks, Dave C

Nice tool, but a regular drill bit to start a hole and some aviation snips would be cheaper.

Re: Speaker Install In Aluminum Soffit
probebly better off remove in the panels where the speakers are going the provide the support you need to hold the wieght of the speaker making sure it face ends up where you need it to maybe have the homeowner use a waterproof surface mount unit and attach it to the wall

I've used a rotozip with a circle cutting attachment, but when you get it mostly cut out, the center of the circle wants to move around. Snips are fastest, like said above, if your cut will be hidden.
