Is it practical to use a reciprocating saw(sawzall) to make subwoofer cutouts for an enlosure? Or will the cut be too rough, uneven, or impossible to make a neat circle?

oh ok - i though u meant 4 str8 cuts

ya u could use that - might be kinda cumbersome 2 hold it tho

a jigsaw is about $30 too or if u own a router buy a bit & circle cutting attachment .....

Just be sure to keep the base secure against the surface when using that sawzall. My Skil sawzall gets pretty jumpy if I hold it above it's work surface, sure to bend blades. I'm a carpenter with alot of tools, and have been bit by every one of them. Safety first!
