Hello all,
I need to get my hands on a router to use to make the driver and internal brace cut outs for a set of 3 Adire kit281s and 2 kit81s. I probably won't need it for much else besides the speakers so I'd prefer to keep it inexpensive. I first found the 2HP Firestorm Plunge Router at Lowes for $69 but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the Jasper Jig. I started looking at the routers that are listed on Jasper's site and they all appear to cost about $180 on up. I see that Sears has a Craftsman 1/4 in. Plunge Router for $69 but I've read some bad reviews of their cheaper models. I also found the Ryobi RE180PL at Home Depot for $99.
Will a $70-$100 router work well enough to make the holes I need for 5 speakers or do I need to spend $150-$200 to do the job right? If a better one is on order, what brands and models will work well with the Jasper Jig? I have read through several older posts here at HTGuide and see DeWalt and Hitachi mentioned as well as a few other brands. Am I better off stepping up to the plate and buying a good one? I guess I could buy a decent one and find other uses for it in the future.
Thank you.
