I have received some request on how I drilled my bags for the 6x9's . It was actually kinda easy.
1. Use blue painters tape and mark your holes.
2. The most important holes are the ones that actually mount the speakers to the bag.
3. I then went in 1/2 inch increments and used a 3/8 drill bit to make the hole at every other intersection. Like a checker board pattern.
This design has beat out a 4 6x9 system in lids and a 8in mid-bass sealed off in the bag. Don't know why exactly(science) but they do produce nice lows.
I tried your theory for my 6x9 in my lids. When I play those speakers alone I can tell the difference in hit from them. Unfortunately they dont keep up with my front stage so I cant tell much difference when everything is playing. I'm pretty sure it's the speakers fault. I will be trying some different 6x9 when funds allow it to test it out again. I think it will make a difference with the right speaker
15 guys standing around that thing in my driveway... I swear he opened the bag and all our jaws dropped. Every one of us laughed when he and his wife (HI B.J.) said with a straight face, "no really its just 6X9s". I don't know the science either, but I know it worked buddy, and it worked damn well. Pretty sure Josh, USAProud is working on a little science project too with a 6x9....

I saw them up close...he did a great job. .they thumped.
Juice, i wonder how they would sound playing around with more deadner inside or fabric lined interior,etc. Although i dont think i would touch a thing..lol
That's a cool looking install... I'd be interested in seeing inside the bag to get an idea how much space the speaker takes up.
As for laying out the holes... you could also lay graph paper over the painter's tape and drill the intersecting lines... no measuring and evenly spaced. If you have access to a printer, you can find PDF files on line to print.
