    A seller on eBay has 1 complete speaker FS.
    Claims that the other speaker cabinet was damaged by a fall to the floor..
    Maybe that grill is still good

    I talked to that seller and I was going to ask him if I can get two of them but he said he only had one since he got rid of everything on the other one. I saw that speaker on E-bay before and asked him already.

    Well they maybe a nice descent speaker,,,,but by the time factor in all the time and costs replacing those grills maybe it's time for new speakers.
    Just an opinion.

    Those speakers don't look half bad with the grills off.

    BTW. that eBay seller had them listed before and didn't sell them.

    You have to keep watching eBay.

    But you'd probably be better off just making a couple yourself. Make sure you use as acoustically transparent fabric as possible.

    Well it's starting to tare a little but not completely and I made a misstake and put super glue to stick the grille fabric to the frame since it was starting to come off on the middle part and made it look not good so I tried using black color markers but didnt make it look like how it was before. I did it on both grilles. :(

    What kind of glue do I use? Since I used Superglue before and made a big mistake. How do I strech the fabric? I never done this before is it easy?

    Do I have to remove the JBL logo too? or how do I exactly do this with my speakers since its not just flat straight grill like normal ones.

    Have you tried running without grilles?You will find that most speakers sound better without grilles.Mine sure do.

    Well I liked the looks with the grills on since it coves the speakers and looks smoother.

    Well I would like you guys to please help me find a way so I can buy a new or used pair of grills since that would be the best. My grills aren't like normal grills since it has its own shape I noticed. Maybe it's because of the horn so they had to make the frame different. But if I have to fix it myself I will need help on how to glue the cloth to the frame and shape it like how the frame is.
