So im after some grills for my wedges, and i know already your already going to sent me to markie,
But ive been looking at grills and want to know about how the % of open air effects the sound of the speakers as if you have say 65% open area im assuming you dont use much due to compression behind the grill?? but surely you lower the efficiency?

So whats the best type of grill to buy in terms of strength and open air?
i also feel like having a go at making some myself so if any one knows any good suppliers near Derby/Notts would be appreciated :)

	Speak to Markie (sorry), he has different amounts of open area grilles in stock I believe and will get you any size you like made up to suit.

	Also worth speaking to Penn Elcom. They have many different designs, as well as custom and would be able to advise you further on your query.
