I'll just add to the question!
There are some nice PA drivers suitable for home use, e.g. something like this:
But the gaskets are
1) ugly and
2) increase the needed thickness for recessing
If usually removable without problems and without ripping the surround/cone off, it would give a nice opportunity to make an own thin ring cover.
No, mounting from the back of the baffle is no option, it impacts the overall enclosure contruction too much for my taste.
Someone experience with this?

In my experience they split when you try to pull, and as a result looks even worse. You can get alumni rings to cover instead. Cover then also the bolts. It’s nice, but I haven’t tried it myself and I don’t know how they attach. Maybe it’s magnetic? Btw I don’t thing recessing this soft material in a mid/bass is of any performance value, only looks.
For best results use a single bevel blade, with a 'flat side', and cutting edge starting on "bottom" side of the blade going all the way across.Great advice, and it seems to work! Thanks!
Gives you a much better finish as you can use the flat bottom as a "guide", a very thin piece of masking tape and frame scratching won't happen either.
Xacto often brands theirs chisel.
