Speaker grill "construction" (if you can call it that).
Kids, this is what happens when you smoke a few too many bongs and have too much time to do stuff. I'm all about "who gives a ****" and "do whatever you want" so here we go:
Here we have cut a hole in some fairly "seen better days" grill from a vintage Philips 6.5" driver from days of "ye olde" with my Dremel. This is after I de-badged it, and sanded away the badge adhesive and poked all the little holes clear with some tig wire... then gave it a lick of Rustoleum glass black enamel.
Here is the Fusion branded grills I bought from some random
eBay store for $25
This is after bonding them with some quick set two-part epoxy that took 10x longer to cure than it should have thanks to the record setting low temperatures (coldest in 108 years, locally) thanks, climate change? I guess?
Added a trip of closed cell foam to hide my sins, and viola! We have a badly centered photo of the final product...
I am yet to finalize it all with a custom, hand made diadem/badge of the DS18 logo on a stainless steel plate, which I will use to cover the shameful inclusion of Fusion hardware on each grill... coming soon or the year 2037, which ever comes first.
