Here are the installed grilles with OEM rings. The fits are very good with 3-M tapes.

Looks pretty good, but it might look better if you lined up the f holes in the correct orientation.

Any rattles?

The last time I took music class was in middle school during the 70's. You can tell I am no musician. Haha!

Thanks for sharing! Looks very good.

I was wondering about that. Placing a grill on top of an existing one would be very hard to line up the holes. That will reduce the amount of air the speaker can push and could cause some audio distortion at mid to high volumes. In speaker design, careful attention is placed on the speaker grill so as to be audio transparent...

I think dchar meant to line up the music note f in the center of the grill. It's suppose to be slightly slanted vertical & I put it in the horizontal. It's my bad habit as engineer to make everything level. There is no rattles as all, the 3-M glue stick pretty well.

i see now, the forte notation.

Still the holes should line up. Are they easy to line up?

No way to line up all the tiny holes (probably more than 100) and the hole pattern is not the same as OEM's metal grille.
