Default Has anybody

Just bought Polk 6.5's speakers and thinking about not running any grill what so ever. Has anybody done this?

nope but they're all marine certified so won't hurt it at all. Can't possibly imagine how gawdy that's gonna look though but to each his own. :-)

You may be able to run without on the fairing speakers, but if you have them installed in the Tour Pak pods, the passenger could inadvertently smash them without the grille. Same with the lowers.
