Doesn't work with most speakers

Problem with this product: It doesn't work with most speakers because most speakers are not recessed, they are too big these days. I couldn't use them with my speakers. Unless I change it somehow. So I gave it away.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Weak

The quality is good, but too small

I have tried all these bars from Revain, they are good quality but always too small; They don't take into account that most speakers (especially subwoofers) have surround sound that extends beyond the speaker cabinet.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

This works for me for the body and fairing

I had to change because the hangers holding it up didn't fit my mtx. The grilles arrived bent and the metal is very thin. I've worked through a few things and they work for what I need. But if you have tools or heavy things. not a good idea or if you don't want to fix the side buckles.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Repair

Durable but very limited in use. .

Nice and solid but I had to get a 12" to cover my 10" subwoofer. It will probably work fine for a very old or very cheap woofer. I housed my 10" flat Pioneer subwoofer in the bottom of my crossover so I didn't waste valuable cargo space. Had to add a custom 12" spacer ring to raise it over the subwoofer to use it. So it's robust, but it took some tweaking to get it working.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • upgrades

Nice grill, weird clips

The grill is strong enough for the price. I dropped my subwoofer yesterday and it received a slight dent versus catastrophic damage to the speaker. The clips are weird. They don't seem deep enough for the top mount, but they are too deep for the bottom mount I used. I had to hand saw them to hold the grill in place. Without this modification, the grille would rumble like crazy. For the price, this is a good grill, but expect to tweak the settings a bit.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Negative gift

This is a simple gate but I needed a simple solution to actively protect the driver from curious cats. I have some fancy expensive grills on hand, but the outside diameter of the grill and the prominent trim rings would be too large to fit in the tight space between the cutout and the top of the box. But as shown in this picture, the strip is narrow and doesn't extend past the top of the box. Pre-drill the holes only halfway with a little smaller than the 4 screws provided and it will be very…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • No

Small and very thin.

Works handy. I've bought this type of subwoofer grille before and it usually completely covers the subwoofer. (Outside the subwoofer assembly.) I had to place it over the outer ring where the screws go. Using the screws provided, the heads of the screws were ripped off before I drove them very deep into the wood, driving them into the wood. (I didn't drill pilot holes.) I ended up using drywall screws and when I started tightening them I went through the plastic without realizing it because…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Security

Good protection, bad installation hardware

This is a practical and inexpensive grille to cover a 12" subwoofer, for example for a car audio system. Mounting hardware similar to Revain B0033ZSNLC and B000K8IYF0. It has clips to hold the grille in place when screwing into the woofer enclosure. But the clips aren't wide enough to fit into the black rubber ring you see around the edge of the grille in the photos. For example, this rubber ring might be 10mm wide, but the clips are only 7mm wide, making them unusable. These are clips that…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Nothing
