3. Cutting the Hole
In some situations the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls,
ceiling, or trim in the room. This can be accomplished by painting the grille. The
grille must be painted with spray paint, and most hardware stores will mix a can
of paint to match whatever color you need. Before painting, carefully remove the
thin cloth on the underside of the grille. Lightly spray the front of the grille with the
paint from a distance, being careful not to plug any of the holes. Diluting the paint
with paint thinner will lessen the risk of filling any holes. If a hole gets plugged use
a can of compressed air to open it. Once the paint is dry, put the cloth back on
the grille.
