Speaker Grills
REBIRTH:
???
I am always amazed when I CAN'T find something on the Internet. I am just about done with my cab. I have a bunch of speakers installed, including 2 small 2 3/4" speakers I hacked out of a PC Speaker setup. Problem is I can not find a speaker grill that small. I need a grill between 2.75"-3.25" (preferably 3"). The peice of wood the speaker is on is only 3.25" wide, so I can't put a bigger grill on the speaker.
I can not find a speaker grill this small. I checked local stores and all over the internet. I only found one place on the internet that has square ones that at 3 1/8", but they have a minumum order of 15 peices. I would have thought that car stereo places would have it (like crutchfield.com) since car tweeters are usually that small, but I can't find anything. I even checked out things like small fan grills (pctoys.com has some cool looking fan covers - shaped like skulls, alien heads, etc that I figured would look cool and do the job - I found them in a local store but their smallest one is too big).
Does anyone have any ideas of a place on the internet that would sell something a small speaker grill? Or if anyone has another idea?
Thanks for any help you can give!

If you can't find one, you could alway make one. You can buy that speaker grill material.. I forget what it's called.

You can cut your own from perf metal with tin snips. Good way to get covering for irregular shapes or non standard sizes. Get it at a local supplier or other sources.

I was in the same boat as you and ended up saying screw-it ... the result wasn't too bad actually ... routed the hole and lined it with T-molding:

I went to Circuit City and asked if they had any (in the car stereo installation place.) They gave me a set they had lying around.
