Try counter sinking this one.

What in the world are they thinking about when designing a face plate like this. And what's up with 90 dB?

I think someone posted about this before, and it was said that this unit isnt supposed to be flush mounted.

Seems Stupid to me,, Simple answer is Don't buy it.

Hi,

All you need is a couple of circle templates of the radius used + scroll/jigsaw to make a router jig from 3/8" HDF.

If you're of steady hand, draw the template onto the baffle and freehand a 1/4" straight router bit and ripout the excess with a 1/2" (it can be done!)

Cheers!

the point of the shape is so it can be mounted very close to a mid driver, or even 2 drivers in an MTM configuration. I presume the height and radius is matched to the rims of appropriate fostex drivers.

Seems like a good idea for MTM, though yes, it might not be installer-friendly.

I dont have a problem with the shape but it'll be a cold day when I spend $240 for a dome tweeter!

A technique similar to this can be used for any irregular shaped driver, I've used it on my Focal TC120TD5's and some Aurum Cantus woofers ...
