ProjeKtWEREWOLF Posted January 12 Posted January 12 As the title suggests, I'm considering buying a darkglass dg212n, but the cloth grille really puts me off. Does anyone know of an aftermarket steel grille for these Darkglass speaker cabs? I'm also considering the Gallien Krueger equivalent, or *maybe* Mesa Subway if I can stretch that far... Thanks all!

Mottlefeeder Posted January 12 Posted January 12 There are speaker grill manufacturers who will produce a grill to your dimensions - eg www.speakergrills.co.uk Before going down that road, you need to consider how you are going to fix it to the cab, whether you want a flat grill, or one with folded over edges etc. I would also recommend having it coated before despatch. You will waste a lot of paint spraying through the holes if you do it yourself. The alternative, if it exists, is the aftermarket you refer to, which may be more expensive because each product is intended to fit an expensive branded cab. David 1 Quote

It's weird that DG, predominantly make amps for metal players, don't provide steel grilles. My money doesn't stretch to Barefaced etc. so I'm leaning towards a Gallien Krueger neo IV cab. Probably a 2x12 to be honest. I already run a TC Electronic k-212, but want something lighter, more compact and more efficient. Quote
Mottlefeeder Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) It may be that those manufacturers want to mimic the look of Marshal / Vox / Hywatt / Wem cabs from back in the day. Several speaker builders on this forum have used speakergrills.com, so that would be a fairly safe option. If you investigate other suppliers, check the thickness of the grill they offer.
