slobluesine Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 is it OK to replace a metal grill with speaker cloth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceH Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Until you prang the speaker cone with a mic stand or something then it's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 If it`s just for the look of it, why not use thin speaker foam and cloth over the grill itself. You then get the looks and the protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Be warned that most grille cloth is quite open meshed and you will probably still see the yellow cone. Look at the old Fender cabs where you can see the metal dust caps through the grille. The stretchy hi-fi style cloth is a bit less transparent (I can't see the white cones on my old Wharfedales), but also much less protective than the stiffer stuff.

4-string-thing Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 [sup]I used a layer of the stuff that looks like thin foam, which I think is the hi-fi type stuff, then another layer of open mesh type stuff (from Carlsbro cabs, I think) over the front of it. It looks quite good, You can't see the speakers though it and it looks unique.[/sup] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
