Snell Acoustics J (original / version I) Speaker Re-grille

8xlaxx

Have you ever seen a spleen that large?
If you're considering a re-grille of your speakers, don't be frightened. o_O

Just finished up a pair of Snell J original I versions, today. Mine had a few small holes and snags here and there (recently puchased them used). Thought the end result was very nice!

Glue and cloth were purchased from an ad banner / sponsor here on AK and I utilized a staple gun for just the corners. It wasn't a tricky process but I wanted the confidence in knowing that the corners would adhere securely. The glue residue you see in the pics was mostly from the factory as it seemed very generously spread.

There is a YT video on replacing grille cloth that is quite helpful. It's a very easy and straightforward job to do.

Looks like you got it covered!! :rolleyes:

Thanks!

I used @Simply Speakers (no affiliation) repair adhesive #MI-3035 and their stock black grille cloth. Worked like a charm. The grille frame, on the Snell J, is a thicker MDF-type material so driving the staples in were a breeze. I probably overkilled it with a second staple but a lot of the material bunches up there on the corner,...so for good measure, I hit it again. :D YMMV
