I used a 1 7/8" hole saw and it worked perfect. Put a layer of masking tape on the front so you can draw some lines to find the exact center. Clamp it down well, run the saw in reverse and go sloooowww.
Great tips man!!!!

Well started today on audio install. What fricking moron came up with those pod closures. How many bolts does it take to hold on a piece of plastic! Only got one side off. Work on the other side tomorrow. Quick question: I bought the hog-tune grills & cut center out for AT28 tweeters. Now do you take Harley original speaker grills off then use the hog-tune grills? Also does the speaker fabric go on the outside of the grills or inside?

Remove the OEM grills and install the hogtunes grills after putting the speaker cloth on the outside of the grill covering the tweeter and the grill area

Thank you. Will do that first thing tomorrow. Someone said that the jl audio amp fits on top of the radio on my 2017 street glide special. I did a dry run & i have navigation on the top of my radio. Not sure it fits all that well. Also can only go back so far before it hits the harness in back.

What JL Amp?

Hold the grill cloth on the face of the grill. Poke one small hole thru one screw hole with an all or exacto. Screw one screw thru grill hole then fabric. Do the same for the other holes pulling the fabric tight across the grill face. After all screws are into that fabric, mount the grill but pull it tight while tightening the screws into the inner fairing.
