They in my saved/watch list on eBay ready to go. My only question is, if I get the Steel Bar type of guards for my speakers, will the 10" ones fit on the rim of the Sub or will sit on the subbox where I can screw them in, or do I have to get a 12" style to have the room needed to accomplish that?

I am looking at these in both black and chrome plated.

My desired ones would be these guys, but they would look weird given how my subs are not flush with subbox

Just curious

I kinda like the fishmans myself, the first set looks....well kinda blah and not very strong. The spiders are cool.
You could cut a ring from plywood to fit around the speaker if the grills need to mount to wood and not the speaker itself. Just build up the plywood untill there is enough clearance between the sub and grill. 3/4" plywood might be the right size. Then cover the plywood with the same cloth or spray paint.

I know not everyone is going to agree with the way I did the hinges, I am ok with that, I wanted to be a bit different with them. I was thinking of different types of hinges all together, but I wanted to keep a safe operating budget for this project.
