Hi mdrew,

If you first find the locations in the room where the subs produce the deepest and smoothest bass, there's no reason you can't hide the subs as long as you don't impede the port and driver radiation.

I would not use wooden lattice work in front of grille cloth. I think the lattice work might impede proper venting. A strong portective steel mesh grille behind a grille cloth over the port and the driver would work better. I'm speculating here. You could always try both and see.
