Thumbs up H-W Speaker Grills

Put on a set of Hawg Wired "Punched Out" speaker grills. I'm pleased with the look...matches the metal grills on the HT Tweeter Pod. It also addresses any issues with a mounted tweeter that pushes out the OEM grills. For $20 it's a nice inexpensive upgrade.

I think they would look better without the POLKAUDIO tabs on them, but whatever floats your boat

I like the look of the stock grills, they hide my Focal speakers nicely

Yeah I'm not sure about the PA badges either, I just put them on to see how they would look. I used emblem tape, so they'll come off easily.

Look great... impressed with the quality of mine on the Road Glide as well

+ 1 also think they look better w/o the PA emblem.

How do you like the sound? Are you running an amp with them?

I paired these with a Rockford Fosgate PBR300x2. Still using the HK head unit. I'm real pleased with this set up. More than enough power and clarity for me. ( for under $400) I have the RF gain at around 6 and the filter set at HP (High Pass) w/ the frequency all the down to 50 hz. The Polk MM561 can go to 40 hz but there's plenty still of bass at the HP setting at 50hz and less chance of clipping them when cranking it :-)
