#5 Would the 8in speaker fit the 9.5in hole in my ceiling?
Its been a long time since I've used these speakers, The answer
would be no. The speaker's inner flange diameter and the
attached clamping mechanism would be too small to fit/seal
properly on a 9.5 in., hole. The best option is to properly patch
the 9.5 in., hole and cut a new hole (the size/diameter of the
inner flange) that the speaker's inner flange can properly fit into.
