Hi everyone!
I just wanna know how do u make the indentation or other types of deepening in your topology? How to make all this separated parts to look more integrated? Is a boolean combine the best way? or just draw a vertex and use champher?.....
How do u do that?
Big tnx in advance!!!

It looks like the case housing around the speakers has a circular cut for the speakers themselves. this is how i approached it:

Hi Dare-o and tnx for your reply......its a good way......its true...but what if the both topologies(body and speaker) are already done and i just want to intagrate speaker into body? is it any way to do this? I mean when both topologies havent identic mesh?

TNX!

Well If you dont want to remodel it you might as well just boolean it, should give you the same results, just a messy wireframe.

Tnx again for your post... well i have already thought about boolean... but after subtraction ,4example, the wireframe is messy,like u sad... and i cant use NURMS subdivision then. If i spend some time with this mesh i can proper reconstract it. But its a question of time :) u know what i mean. Thats why i thought there's another way to do it faster or .... easier :)

I guess i am just too lazy! :)
