Posted October 20, 201311 yr Can someone confirm the 12.5"outside diameter and is there anyone who knows how deep i need to route it for a flush mount of the basket? Thanks in advance.
October 20, 201311 yr I can say that the rubber gasket for my 18 was exactly 3/4 " I cut my inner for the woofer to mount too, and the outer baffle to the OD, and the gasket is flush with the outer baffle. I am sure the 12 rubber gasket is the same thickness.
October 20, 201311 yr I agree with the 3/4" depth to get the gasket flush. I only went 9/16" on mine because I was wanting the rounded edge of the gasket to be just above the baffle. As for the outside cutout, you really don't want it to exactly match the outside diameter of the sub/gasket. If it's too close in tolerance it makes the sub difficult to drop in and take back out. I always try to add ad least an extra 1/8", sometimes more so that there's not any problems with clearance going in or trying to take them out. I went 3/16" larger with my 10" cutouts on the enclosure for my Jimmy and the fit was about perfect for them.
