Grill Cutouts For Eosone RSF 200s

Farer In The Goldilocks Zone
I recently bought a pair of Eosone RSF 200s for cheap ($70, $57 after an EBay bucks certificate :banana:), mainly because they were missing the grills. My dad and I are planning on making a new set, but we're unsure of the cutout on the inside. If we can't find a picture (there are none on Google), we'll just go for a cutout with the least wood possible. However, it would be nice to get the original cutout design so the grills act as close to the original acoustically as possible. These speakers sound amazing, so I believe they deserve the best grill cutout I can give them.

So, if anyone has a pair of Eosone RSF 200s (or just the grills if that happened somehow) and can take a picture of the inside of the grills, with measurements preferably, I would appreciate it greatly.

I posted this in your Dollars and Sense thread. Maybe it'll help? It looks simple enough to replicate.

Thanks again. I was thinking of basing it off the RSF 600s I have, so that gives me one more model to look at. The woofer and tweeter cutout looks to be standard for the towers, so the 200s probably had the same cutout. They're just a lot smaller, so I'll have to scale it down a bit, which shouldn't be too bad.
 
The whole line was designed by Arnie Nudell. Manufactured by Polk, and then marketed through Best Buy. If I remember it all correctly? The speakers received very good reviews and feedback.

I always thought that they had an Infinity 'feel' to them. Especially the Eosone RFS1000 - it look's like a conventional 9 Kappa.

If you make frames you won't need the use cut outs. If needed you can brace the frame with cross members at points between the drivers.

Your local fabric store most likely will sell acoustically transparent grill cloth.

Also, PE sell grill attach things that might fit the buttons I see in the pic.

That's correct. They borrow technologies from Nudell's time at Infinity as well as from his $90,000 Genesis 1 system. The manual states he wanted to bring those technologies to affordable speakers for the "common man" (and make a bit more money I'm sure). They were under the Polk umbrella, as far as I can tell from my research.

They look like a knock off of a Snell speaker with a tweeter on the back. Not saying that is bad, just saying is all.....

Yeah, the drivers look almost the same. I think they did get sued by Definitive Technology for copying their styling, especially in the towers, and that was a big reason they disappeared (as well as lack of sales). They do sound superb, so I'm happy.
