Bronze Member Username: ClownassPost Number: 19 Registered: Sep-05 | Do you guys use grills to protect your subs? I am looking for a pair of NICE speaker grills and can't seem to find any. I checked partsexpress.com and did not find what I was looking for. I am looking for something nicer than that. Any Ideas? What do you guys do? |

But that is the majority of what is available other than the flashy looking stuff which does little for protection and is all for show...and if you ask me they look like horrible.\popjpeg {160992,Upload}  |

Silver Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 500 Registered: Jul-05 | Yeah - i have 2 of those , dirt cheap like u said & i can tell that waffle stlye grill do tend to 'color' the sound noticeably if u have been accustom to listening to a sub without 1 for a long time . From the moment u put in on u can tell . But after a while u won't notice the coloration that much . That grill above with the 8 bars look like a nice 1 & will definitly NOT get sound coloration with that since its spaced out far apart . |
