I just use a ruler with holes drilled in it. Works fine for me.

i just use a piece of 18 ga primary wire with a ring terminal on each end. put a screw through one end and the pencil in the other. Make the distance between the ring terminals exactly half the diameter of the circle you want.

Take a hacksaw blade and put a nail where you want the center of the circle to be, then measure from the center of the nail to the correct radi that you want for your hole and then place a pencil at that point on the edge of the blade with the teeth, the teeth will grip pencil and keep it from walking on you.

Flip the sub over, face down, trace it. Drill a hole next to the line and use a jigsaw to cut out.

You folks make it so hard on yourself...
