| How to replace this speaker mesh? |

This box has some speaker mesh that covers the entire panel (24.5" wide). As you can see in the photo, there's a big hole where the original speaker was. I'd like to put in some stereo speakers, which means two more holes. It would be nice to find a source for this mesh so I could put in my stereo speakers and cover the central hole with a simple plug. Is that possible? |

I had a similar problem with a cab I had. My solution was to cut thin piece of masonite and put it over the entire piece up there. Then I cut out the new speaker holes. Once the marquee retainers where in place and everything was painted you could not even that I was covering up the old hole. |

gamecreature, funny you should mention this "problem" you have had with a once useless hole that housed a single speaker. I had the same dilemma trying to figure out what to do with the hole and mesh that covered it. Using a hole saw, I cut 2 new holes for the new speakers and I filled them with hacked PC speakers - the right speaker had the volume, bass, and treble controls on a PCB, as well as a power LED which I hacked to fit in the old speaker hole. I then covered that with the old square mesh. As you can see in the picture, the power LED, volume knob, bass knob, and treble knob (sans the knob for now, since I don't know what happened to it) are now underneath the old mesh....just goes to show what you can do with what you got and a little inginuity :) As for the mesh for each of the PC speakers I used, I tore those off since they were grey, screwed/glued them over the speakers, and I am quite pleased with the black "grill look" of the black meshes. The speakers sound great and the subwoofer is underneath the monitor shelf in my cabinet. |
