Bring some MJ while on your way up Its almost legal now

My days of taking illegal drugs across international borders are over. I know what people say but I am through being a drug mule and a male prostitute.

You cant be serious about quitting the prostitution circuit. Its how you meet new people and get out once n while.

All the speakers I have currently have magnet held grilles except for one old DIY pair. It just looks cool when you pop the grilles off and there are no "protrusions" there.

You make your own. It is very easy.

You use 3/8' plywood

Make the cut out you want with a rip saw. Now cut the board to size, with a skill saw, or table saw..

Mount the hardware.

Paint the outside of the frame with mat black blackboard paint.

Now cut the fabric to size, and staple is with a staple gun.

You can get the hardware and speaker fabric from Madisound, and I suspect a lot of other places.

I doubt there are any custom builders.

Im looking at this for speaker cloth.

Here is a closeup of the drivers.

I made a template yesterday for the grills. Hopefully, I can run down to Home Depot and get some 1/2" plywood ends and have them bevel cut at 45 degrees to size.

lol, I posted the link to those in this thread. Check sizes, there are two different ones for different size holes.

My bad. I missed that . Thanks for that post

I was all set to buy this;

Was going to check out in PayPal until I saw a $233. shipping /import charge. Thats 10x times the cost of the fabric. I called Parts Express up and they said it depends on where they are shipping it too. I guess they want to keep their business in the US. I'm now searching Amazon.

Where are you and how much do you need? I have a roll of it and I'll never use all of it unless I go into business as a manufacturer or burn pieces of it just for the helluvit.

Be a grill cloth mule, then.

Drape it over your shoulders and if they ask what it is, say "It's my cloak".

And he's in Ottawa. I hesitate to order from PE due to wanting freakin' everything. If you really feel like shipping grill cloth, I could use some too. How wide is the roll? Fire retardant? Shiny? Dull?

@3db was also looking for speaker grill guides and I referred him to the Solen page referring to the guides.

I think he wants magnets.

Yes, but magnets are the much better way to go.

Hey Alex, can you post pics of your sub and grill with the magnets.

 

[Alex2507]

I think these are what I got:

I'm headed up to TO pretty soon. I wish I had those magnets on hand to ship to you from there. If you're going to stick with this speaker repair business, you might think about relocating to a civilized part of the world where The Magnet and dare I say, The Wheel are readily available resources. Think of it, round magnets, in a country right next to you.
