I found this thread showing a diy expanded metal speaker grill and thought they looked great.. how would this look on a m80? would it affect sound quality? http://av123forum.com/showthread.php?t=38645&page=7I am tired of worring about my drivers getting damaged and the cloth speaker grills don't protect from kids and cats.  anyway i was just wondering if anyone else has thought of this or has any ideas where I could find expanded metal? maybe car audio shops? Ideas???

They look like they are half way "between"... You know, "half naked" looking.
I wouldn't think that it would impact the sound at all as long as they didn't rattle.

Fishnet stockings for speakers are NOT sexy.

The SVS-PB13 Ultra sub has a mesh metal grill (black on black was the one I had). Personally, I thought it was one of the coolest looking speaker grills I'd ever seen. (yes, I know I didn't answer any of your questions, but I do agree with you that they are very cool looking)

Ah, but the SVS has a curved metal grille, curves are always sexier than flat.

Those look great. Wonder if the guy would do some for Axioms. Given our reputation around the AV123 forums, though...

I never did try the grill on my PB13, I've just been running it bare with all three ports open baby! I do believe this thread has inspired me to whip it out and try it on...
