Thanks. I ran into that in 1980 when Marantz actually had a REAL pro, Richar May, designing speakers and I was his assistant.

Larry, you said "this material;" were you referring to double knit or something else?

What kind of sub is it? What I have done a few times as a temporary measure and sometimes permanent is install the grill that comes attached to the sub itself to the sheetrock. It works pretyy well with Velodynes, Sonance and any other sub that has a front mounted detachable grill.

The only problem for most people is the grills are black.

Just my 2 cents

I was responding to:


...because the original post was titled:

"I need a grill for the drywall in from a sub located in the closet"

...and I figured that no grill cloth will affect bass, and that Ernie just missed the "sub" reference.

Why don't you just do it like I saw it done once?

An alarm installer called me to help finish up an install he couldn't handle. Fortunately I didn't have to patch up the wains-coating he had cut thru for the 8" in wall rear speakers that just happened to have a gas pipe right in the middle of his hole.

He did show me his subwoofer (MTX brand, really hot stuff, right?) that was underneath the floor, just sitting in the dirt. No actually he did have a piece of cardboard from the box separating the sub from the dirt.

Why cut holes?

i saw a Blose module with a screw or 2, 2 tubes of liquid nail and a metal grill thru the floor. sounded like - well how do you say - typical blose. SH$T.

it did sound better when the house flood and filled with water
