Speaker grills

I wanted to get some grills just for show. I saw these cool spinning ones and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them (SCOSCHE ESG121 SPINNING 12" SUB GRILL). Good? Bad?

heres a link to an ebay auction with one of them in there

and also if anyone knows if they would fit all 12" subs or not?

i haven't heard any subs with those grills on them but it seems like to me that eventoually the spinner part will eventoually wear out and start a nasty rattle, but thats just my opinion and i haven't heard any of them, if im wrong plz correct

None. Do not put grills over a subwoofer...

Please dont do that... they will probably laugh you out of the competiton (or whereever youre at).. They look so cheap and crappy.

The fishman grills are about the nicest ones i seen personnnaly, They are chromed steel with a billet aluminum center. they are however kinda pricy for the bling bling effect

you can get them at parts express

x2? i do a lot of w6 systems with the optional gill. mainly for suv's so the subs dont get damaged. plus they look good.

i like the no grille look the best, but since my subs are in the cab of my truck they tend to come

in contact with **** and get damaged so i got a fishman grille from ebay for like $20, even tho its not installed right now lol i had it on there for a few days on my av12, but it didnt wanna tighten down onto my rlp so i took it off

They sell those at our walmart.. and they look like they will break easily, plus they are pretty tacky.

if your subs are somewhere wher stuff gonna bump into em or might hit em id put grills on, but if not i wouldnt even worry about it, some grills can hide mistakes in subs and make them look better but thats the only reasons i would but grills on, they dont add and dont really take away performance wise unless u got some major excursion and ur hittin the grill, so id go naked if the subs aint gonna get hit by nuttin

well that was why i wanted the grills in the first place. I was worried something might hit them, and i really don't want to poke a hole in the sub.
