draw the circle on the wall where you want it, with a majic marker. Get a mason (masonry) drill bit and drill holes along the cirlce on the black majic marker going all the way thru. I would drill about 1/2 to 1 inch apart. Then just chizel it out. Should make for a pretty clean and round hole.
Good Luck
P.S....good Idea and all, but I would stay away from the C4

This is exactly how you would do it as a homeowner.
OR
You could hire a contrete cutting contractor to bring a 4" core bit to do it in a single pass. This does, however, cost a lot more than the circle drawing method.
Good Luck

I have done this before and depending on the thickness of the wall (The brick walls in my house ar almost 14" thick!) I would go out and buy a long masonry bit and drill all the way through from the outside (Incase there is any break out) if you score the inside and outside well there should be no break out.
I also reccomend you buy/rent a hammer drill it will make it much easier. You also might be able to rent the core drill mentioned above.
Take your time it is easy.

Thanks all. The rental place wanted $72 (per day) for the core drill and ANOTHER $72 to use their bit!!!! I think I could hire a brick mason to come over and make the 4" hole for that much.
As for everyone that's for using the C4....I'm all for it. I get to come to your house first so you can show me how well it works right? RIGHT? (where'd everybody go? )
