What do you guys think about these grills for the front upper fairing speakers? To you think the center will block the tweeter sound?

I wondered the same about the CVO covers for the lowers and I can hear my BT 6.5s really good, but yes for sure something in front of them is going to "technically" block some.... Enough to notice, guessing not.

I would like to know the real answer on this too. I wonder if anyone has done a comparison or something. Those grills are nice but are solid in the center where the tweeter resides.

And a pain in the *** to get to if you don't like them.

A place called xel customs makes nice billet grills that can be custom made to mount tweets in so you can run separates. Also I believe it's legacy baggers make some as well. To me mesh grills from hawg wired or klockworks look nice and change the appearance without any obstruction.

I had them but not for very long. Used them with Boom speakers and 1: thought they made the dash/inner fairing look to busy. 2: overpriced. 3: replaced the Booms (junk) with Kappas and went back to stock grill with the Infinity logo on the grill. Better look in my opinion.
