You can find English as well as metric inserts at any woodworking store. If you make a mistake you can easily drill out to the next size ( metric or English).

If that's your tweeter cut out, the right facing cut out is for the voice coil wires, If you have a router or a similar tool (roto zip) or even a jig saw, duplicate the cutout on the bottom of the hole so you can rotate the driver 90 degrees.

The voice coil wires add a very slight drag, and having the wires face the midrange will help cancel out some of the overlapping frequencies.

PS if you're drilling to install the inserts, you can reposition the screws to accomplish this

Did that originally on a Triangle and it made a noticeable difference in imaging. Speaker engineers pooh poohed the idea, but it works. In modding speakers I rotate many drivers so that the VC wire align vertically as it also splits the cone into two left-right halves through eigenmodes. Helps left right imaging
