There are all sorts of special router accessories that make nice holes. I would use one of those for holes that show, but not just for one hidden one.

Speakers come with the hole size and often with a template. You may have to get a compass (the circle marking kind). Or you can rig up a stick of wood with a nail through it for the pivot point and a pencil at the other end.
