Members mikeYekim Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm planning on changing the speaker on my Valveking and while Im at it Im gonna go ahead and take off the cloth grill and replace it with a painted expanded metal grill. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Whats the best installation method? and did you notice a difference in sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 I've built many such cabs with metal grills. There is no sonic benifits. The main drawback of metal grills is they can be dented and your speakers get dusty. They can also have problems with the metal vibrating. If the cabs designed for a cloth grill, I suggest sticking with it. The dome type covers are for front mount speakers. If you're building a new cab you can buy the dome type here along with the mounting hardware. http://www.parts-express.com/cat/ste...ker-grills/323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tedmich Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 what WRGMC said, of course putting a metal grill behind cloth gives the best of both worlds; bullet proof strength and dust proof with less vibration. remember to get flattened mesh and powder coat works great on steel!

Members thedudebro Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 I've got one of those old Jackson made by Laney cabs with the metal grill, thinking of putting cloth behind it, thanks for the idea bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
