Grado Lab "The Dark Art" Project-Episode 5-Grill Part 2

Making new better grill allowing air to propagate more freely and improve appearance.

Save the SR60 badge, the badge can be use to cover some of the holes on the new grill if the sound quality is to open or to airy. As I mention before the standard plastic grill is almost twice the thickness of the new aluminum grill.

Its time to bring out the speaker grill, don’t bother drawing or scribing circles and cutting it out because you can get a good circular shape. The best way to do it is to find something the same size as the original grill. I went around the house with the house trying to find something the right size and it seem like a shot glass seem to be the prefect fit. I think I don’t have to write anything more the video says it all, try not to hold a big piece of the grill while try to cut. Cut out a small piece and slowly cut out the required shape. The grill will end up with sharp crooked edges and it won’t lay flat. Grind off the sharp edges and prepare it for paint. I painted it black and with extra lacquer for extra gloss.

The grill housing has been polished that’s why its shining and I will post the video soon.
