dayton ib cutout size....

[scotty]

Hey guys...

My drivers will be here Tuesday and I am starting on the manifold today.

I will be bottom mounting my drivers and want to know if anyone knows the correct cutout size to do this?

Top mount cutout is listed at 13 7/8". Should that be sufficient for bottom mount as well? also should a 15" countersink cutout be sufficient?

Thanks guys.

The OD of the frame is larger than 15".

I don't know the actual measurement it's in the neighborhood of 15-1/4".

It's always a good idea to wait until one has the drivers in hand, then take measurements off them before doing any cutting.

Hiya Scotty...I'd like to know your impression of the Dayton IB's. I'm considering them myself. They really work with my budget.

The extreme outside measurement of the Dayton 15" IB woofer that arrived today is 15 1/8", I dont have a set of outside calipers to get an exact measurement, so IMHO I recomend you to cut it 1/16 (15 1/8 + 1/16 for some error room = 15 3/16) bigger so you dont have to fight it. Or even 15 1/4 would be fine if you dont mind a tiny bit of slack / play around it.
