They require a 5" to 5.5" hole, 5.25" is recommended.

Go to; www.kickport.com/

Click on PDF file about head recommendations under Products.

I think it helps a little for a fatter low end sound, I'm still not so sure it worth the 35.00 or 40.00. I feel anytime you add anything or cut a hole in a drum head you reduce the over all resonance of that head. Although it is nice to to have a hole if a sound man happens to be at a venue that requires mic's. So I'm guessing the Kickport is projecting internal tones that do not normally exit the drum. Like the bell on a horn, it projects that sound to maybe a greater distance????
