Couldn't you just use a forcefield? Nice!

Looks fantastic. The acoustic fabric everybody uses has long outlived its worth. Very nice design. I'm curious (a) how you built them (weld, crimp, etc) and (b) do you get any resonance from the grill surface?
(b) would be my primary concern in theory, but it may be stiff enough not vibrate at all. It is just that much of the wire is near the diameter of some stringed instruments so I immediately thought about a vibrating metal cord down the long axis.

Very cool! I've always wanted a nice set of grills. Seriously though, nice work. It's too bad Axiom doesn't offer premium grills to go along with the premium finishes. I'd be tempted to upgrade, because those look awesome. Can't wait to see the M80's.

Great job on those! They really make the speakers look custom. If you decide to market some of these let us know

Nice, I like them!
If you don't mind for the next set of pics could you possibly get a pic from a little farther back, just to see what they look like from a distance?

Very Nice. Someone on the AV123 site did something similar for their MFW15 subwoofer. Where did you find the grill material. I seem to remember that it was hard to find stuff that was more than 50% open.

Thanks everyone!! Zimm; I have not noticed any difference in sq, and no rattles due to the stiff material Adrian; its sexy high gloss cherry RickF; I will get some better pics with the 80's Fredk; Funny you should mention that because that is where I got the idea found the perforated metal online and it has 79% open area. as for the trim i would like to find somthing that worked better and came in black.. this was white which had to be primed and painted...(pain) If i could find better trim for the application I could possible make more
