Like the title says. I've been looking at making the speaker pods, but this is a big project. To even think about starting I would need to do at least 100 sets. The tooling is quite expensive, and I'm not sure there's enough demand to support it. In all honesty 200 sets may cover the tooling, but unless there is a big enough demand this could be a dead end project.
Your thoughts? |

The adapter plates look great. Nice work! The adapter plates would also solve problems for those of us that do not need the speaker grills, but want new speaker options. |

I found some templates on this site a couple of years ago and made adapter plates out of very thin plywood. They worked good but aluminum would be better! On topic...I would be interested in a set or two of speaker grilles |
