Uhhh .... I am wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks for routing to countersink this driver flush in my baffle?

Typically you would to this by creating a router pattern. It takes a little longer, but it is the easiest, surest way. I'm sure you can find tips in online woodworking sites.
Also, sometimes leaving a driver proud of the baffle improves time alignment, and makes it easy to slip a tweeter baffle under it so make sure it's what you want to do.

This makes it easy but may be more than you want to spend for one time use.

I've always done it this way.
Works pretty good, but not foolproof.
Take your time and be careful on the 1st step.

Good tip...thx!
Flaxxer, actually using the driver itself IS the best answer. You just have to use the right tools.
That's why I was suggesting a woodworking site. I can't remember the exact steps/bits to use.
It's something like, create a positive, then create a negative, and somewhere in that process you increase or decrease the size of your template.

Initially, I thought, oh, wasteful of template material. But then.... One advantage is that , though this method must use the driver as an initial template, any cutting is done far from the driver's edge. It is never used directly with a small bush or bearing guided profiling bit. So I'm a fan of it for that reason.
The first cut to produce the big template is the critical part. Any kick, bucking or twisting of the router will damage the profile.

a hot link is where you paste a link in a forum that inserts or shows an image from another site.
effectively your using bandwidth from the original site.
I dont think its against forum rules here, but it's kinda frowned upon by lots of places.
Thanks for explaining that. Unless I am still confused, the image is linked from my own Flicker account. It's the only way I know how to post photos.
