Tweeter Grill - What should I use?

[PRIVATEpastry 10+ year member]

I'm buying a set of Ology Audio comps, and the tweeters that I'm using (Dayton Neo) don't have grills.

Does anyone know where to buy grills that will fit these? Any alternative ideas would be appreciated, also.

Parts Express, maybe?

Or madisound.

I checked Parts Express already... Can't find any on Madisound, either.

depending on how and where you mounted the tweets you can make a grill pretty easy

I'm mounting the tweeters here:

I was thinking I could buy some wire mesh, and cut it to size, then heat it and press it onto the plastic surround, making it melt to the plastic and secure.

grill cloth grill material and 2 peg feet with peg feet mounts should take care of it

Um... What are peg feet? Could you explain a little more?

good question, anyway make sure to post a review of the speakers!

I'll be sure to do that, I'm really excited about these speakers! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

So I have to make a ring to attatch the cloth to, then these pegs hold the ring in place?

they can you can even just use grill metal with the pegs

So the pegs will mount around the tweeter in the door panel, right?

yup the pegs can make their own rise so just grill cloth and metal grill material would be needed
