Default Cutting MY00 door panels to install tweeters...

Hey guys,

I'm planning on cutting my door panels from my 00 and installing tweeters. I already bought the OEM tweeter panel/grills so the installation will look pretty much like stock. Does anybody have an experience or advice on cutting the door panels? I was just going to make a template out of the OEM tweeter grills, then use a dremel w/ a cutting blade and make the holes...

Thoughts? Comments?

Keith

A dremel would work but a hole saw would be easier.

Attaches to a drill, I dont think a dremel has enough power but I could be wrong.

Gotcha... I'm just worried about 'fraying' the plastic/vinyl with something so course as a hole saw. As well, keep in mind that I'm installing AP2 tweeter covers and not the circular ones...
