I painted mine with layout dye (Dykem) and scratched a grid into it. At the intersections I hit it with a punch then used a hand hole punch to poke the holes. Alcohol removes the layout dye. That's just a temporary front panel as I decide what it's going to have and look like as a final product. The end result panel will be too thick to hand punch (0.100") so I'll have to drill it. I had to mill the slot for the display, even in the thin 0.035" aluminum I'm using as a temp panel.

Not wanting to re-invent the wheel ... has anyone come up with a
template for drilling holes in an enclosure for a 2 to 3 inch speaker ?
I was hoping to find something that I could print out and tape to the
outside of the enclosure to use as a guide for drilling sound
holes in a regular pattern for a 3 inch speaker.
If not, I will see what I can come up with and I will post to the group.
