Wrapped Speaker Panels (US version)
On the US version.. unfortunately the speaker grills do not unmount from the panel. I did not want to pay for JDM or JPM.. so I cut them off!
I wanted to retain the shape of the ring, so I didn't use a dremel. I used a very small drill bit and went around the entire perimeter. Then I took a razor blade and fed it around the edge.
Success! I then had to use filler to smooth out all the ridges I made. I had to paint the grille also after filling and sanding.
Here is getting ready to wrap. I do not condone doing any of this indoors, but keep things well ventilated if you do so!
Again.. I start by gluing the stitched area, then work outwards. Since the part is convex, I don't even glue the center (besides the inner ring).
Here's after wrapping.
Then I simply used RTV silicone to adhere the grille.
It was a surprising amount of work.. but I saved $100 so I'm happy.
DONE!
