My e12 came in the mail today (sweet sub btw!) so I put it in my custom sub box in the car to see how it looks (2.00cuft tuned 32hz) and the sub hole is sliiiightly too small (won't fit completely flush). Any ideas on how to make this work? I suppose sanding down the hole till the sub can fit flush. What would be the easiest and safest way to get the sub to fit? I know for sure that I want to use this box, so another box isn't an option. (paid $120 for box) they even said oversized subs may require slight mod to box. I'm a little upset though that the sub won't fit. But any ideas please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Obviously with some investment in router bits you can also do this.
Please read my posts with care. I do not pull punches, but state exactly what is on my mind. My goal is to make you think, make you try harder and to improve yourself AND this forum. This doesn't mean that I don't like you, am being aggressive towards you, or have any other hidden meaning. Instead look at it as me trying to make you better. In no way at all should your butt be hurt by my posts. If so, read it differently. You agreed to taking criticism when you joined, doesn't mean that you have to choose to take it personally. The more effort you put into your threads and posts, the more I will in return. What you get out of it is up to you.

I was. Super proud I didn't shit my pants. I was sure it was going to happen.
We sit on the same bench. Your "asshole" just makes me curious.

Yea it depends on how much material needs to come off. If it's quite a bit, I would suggest a sander or as previously suggested a router. Hand sanding may take a while

Even a carefully maneuvered jigsaw would do the job.
Sanding block or electric sander would be the safest and cheapest way to go about it.

I find that I can see a light at the end down beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole.
Defeated I concede and move closer.
I may find comfort here. I may find peace within the emptiness.
How pitiful.

Here is what I use
Rotary drum sander (kit), just attach it to a power hand drill or any rotary tool and off you go, available with different grit size. Very handy !
The hand method works just as good when its not that much material to be removed (old school).
