BOOMMAT speaker baffle stapled to 3/4" MDF ring cut larger than the speaker diameter to give a little room.

ring installed in cutout with coated deck screws. You can see the blue sharpie swoop of the window crank (hence the scalloped cutout cutout on the MDF ring in the previous photo) Also in the top left, you can see the door hinge stop.

I was careful to double check the position and alignment of the holes for the fasteners. and because I'm not fancy and wanted to cut a bunch of tiny rectangular holes, I used the same drill for the upper metal tab holes.

I used binder clips to hold edges at first, but the High 90 is so good, you don't really need to.
