[QUOTE="smug sapien, post: 5936249, member: 610477"] This is probably going to be my one (and only) thread posted to this place because I'm not much of a car audio kinda dude, but I've run into an enclosure design problem. I figure the people here in a car audio forum have built all kinds of crazy enclosures, so you would know 100 ways to solve my problem..... ....at any rate, here goes: I'm building a speaker enclosure out of a motorcycle top-case. The way I've chosen to do this is to chop an angular hole out of the top, then mounted the speakers in a sheet of plexi behind the hole. Here is a picture of it [URL="http://home.comcast.net/~infinitycrops/proj7.jpg"]http://home.comcast.net/~infinitycrops/proj7.jpg[/URL] ...and here is where I'm stuck..... I want to hide the speakers by building a grill for it. Normally, a person could make a wood-frame and stretch/glue some fabric accross it. Unfortunately, I can't do this because of the curved irregular shape of the opening in my case, and the fact that an ordinary grill can't handle the harsh air flow from being on a motorbike. Do you have any suggestions on what materials to use to build my grill, and how to do it? BTW --- I can still use the speaker cloth approach, but it would have to be stretched across something solid (like a framework or some sort of sturdy mesh). I have no clue what to use to build the "framework" or what mesh to use (and where to get it).
