I think the drawing is true and accurate, just not sure how cone movement effects the surrounding (thank you for the assist on the word) and i want to avoid having contact areas here...
I think i will wait for now, i hope it is not too long...
I'll prepare the first baffle with the 281mm cutouts and increase that when needed. But to be sure i need to mount the drivers and give them some voltage to move everything i fear.
I know it's disappointing to wait, but you're probably making the right call! I'd hate for you to cut the hole and find out it's too big.

Well yeah, too big or too small would both be a total failure, as there is no way to really reach there to fix it (and in case of too big no fix at all...).
Got in contact with the supplier, the first package is on its way already and should be here the next few days. so the waiting time is not that long, i think i will get through this :)

The Wheelboard-idea: i'll stick with that, and thought about a frame to keep the T30 in place, that also functions as a ground support for the DR250s maybe...will try around a bit and present the final idea.

Still not sure about the flanges inside the access cover. But i still do not see a problem with placing it there now; I'll do the first, and think about it again before i glue it down there. Maybe my mind discovers the error when i have it in front of me.

The first batch arrived :)
The surrounding needs no clearance, 283mm cutout diameter is fine.

I just stumbled on the placing, when i put it as in the plans they are pretty close in the center. Is this intentional/needed?
placed with a bit more distance (30" wide cab) would make better spacing in the middle?

Surrounding pushed out

Pushed in

Both ways do not cross the frame border :)

Oh nice! Time to get building!

I can't imagine it would hurt anything to space the drivers further apart, but maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

I went on the first with the spacing from the plans, when finishing the cab i'll see if i'd even benefit from more distance; probably fine the way it is.

The flanges to carry the access cover later, this would be the idea in one piece (a cutoff from the precut just fits)
Any errors when done in one part?
Any errors when done now?

Cutout fits well i'd say.
The surrounding has no contact, no matter how i move the cone.
