    I usually have the grills off when listening, has to do with the cool factor with everything moving.

    Free upgrades!! Nice work tho. That makes a hell of a difference on (stock version) good sounding, but not good looking speakers.

    I keep the grills on just on the off chance that a dog may decide to chew on a speaker one night. Grills are cheaper to replace than speakers (replacement of dog is not an option).
