I went the direction that Tailwind mentioned. I always use a waterproof fabric called Frogzskin. I made a template of the lid area under the grill out of a magazine cover. Then copied that to the Frogzskin, then used black silicone to glue it to the top of the speaker opening. I chose to do it this way so I didn't have a recessed pocket for the water to sit in.

No clue about that cloth but u just never know.
Also, would not hurt at all to do the fabrication work at all prior to paint but since ur only removing the tweeter bridge on the inside of the lid doing it after paint is not the end of the world.
Let us know what u think of that potential grill cloth. Just make sure ur getting enuff noise flowing thru them.

the clothe is for non treated speakers that have an opening where the tweeter is. The DD VO 6X9 are marine treated and have a sealed center cap. Water won't go thru them. Add some silicone around the edges and you'll be fine. That's an advantage of running the VO 6x9.

Yes, I use it for all my speaker installs regardless if it is a waterproof speaker. Especially on the lids where that water is just sitting in the cone. I go overboard on things (my OCD I guess), but $20 to protect $200-$350 speakers just seems like a no brainer.
