Here's a couple pictures, the flash shows the speakers behind the grills, normally you can't see more than a hint of the tweeter through the grill.

WTF are you trying to say? Your 1st post was about underware and your 2nd post was about tweeters in your updated speakers. ????????????????

Sound is noticeably clearer/crisper with KW aluminum grilles.
Stock HD speaker grilles actually muffle sound.
Note: HogPod has metal grilles.

WTF I'm trying to say is for a lot less money you can replace the stock speaker grills with something that actually lets more sound through. The comment on the tweeters was just to inform the person who asked for pictures that the speakers don't normally show through the covers, the flash from the camera caused them to reflect through. Read the posts all the way through before you think you have something to say. Not saying the KW grills don't look good, but they don't allow the speakers to perform the way something sound transparent will.
