How-to get rid of those ugly factory speaker grilles.

[baqnblaq]

Take off old grille to make sure your new speaker is going to fit.

Now using automotive grade masking tape line out the area with tape. Make sure the tape is tight and conforms to all contours of the area.

Using a Sharpie outline the contours. This is a good time to mark your screw holes as well.

This a cheap piece of fiber board I had a couple scrap pieces laying around. It is about 3/8" thick.

Lay the out the masking tape flat as possible the board.

Now trim everything you outlined with the Sharpie. Also drill the screw holes at this time.

Remove the masking tape and sand all edges.

Rap the board with your choice of color fabric.

Make sure speaker with grille fits.

If your satisfied with your work... just install it. Then repeat for the other side.

Sorry I had to post a how-to here, but it won't let me in the how-to section.

Hope you guys find this helpful.

Nice, clean work. I think I have to leave my OEM grills in, too. If someone broke in a few years ago to steal my Aiwa CD deck they won't hesitate to break in to steal my Rockford Fosgate door speakers!

I agree. I have Infinity's front and rear, and I love the fact that no one know's it. Kudo's on the write up though.

Yeah it sucks that we live in a world were some people can't do modifications like this to their cars. It pisses me off that there is dishonest people who decide that they don't need to work hard to buy the things they want when they can just steal it. Anyways thanks for the feedback though.

[jschatte]

[mustard_madman]

Oh, yeah, that I did do. It does give it a cleaner, yet inconspicuous look.

Any pictures of the speakers with removed fabric?

[snoopyloopy]

good write-up, i'd consider it if i didn't park my car on the street at night and i had an alarm. i don't want people breaking in for my pioneers...

[lostforawhile]

i kept the factory grills but wrapped the metal screen in black speaker cloth. i thought of doing this,but use the pioneer plate type two way speakers,remove the speakers from the plate,make a piece they fit in,with the tweeter angled the right way,and mount them behind a panel like this,out of site.

You can see right through them when light is directly applied to them, but in the shade, it's hard to see the speaker through the housing.

this was the sort of write up i was looking back when i was a ricer lol.i tried fiting some speakers that wdnt fit but i cdnt do it so i ended upo bolting them to the stock grille and removing the fabric. now i am doing what messy does and going stealth....going for the oem look
