Are there any plans available to make speaker covers for the X Static DIY kits?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

We have not created such plans yet. Most run them without grills as the grill frames tend to disrupt the response.

Hi,

I'm at that stage with my build - got to keep the kids / adults fingers out of the drivers.  There are lots of examples of grills for X-Statik and other designs in this circle.  Here's what I did... and apologies for the rough finish - nothing is rubbed down or finished yet (and I'm a noob woodworker!):

I used 6mm plywood for the grill frame which seems to work well.

Grills fitted to X-statik and sitting in front of X-Voce.  the drawings allow for centre positioning of the driver holes - I made the grill driver holes 7" diameter for good clearance.  I've yet to round-over the internal angles.



Detail of the 8mm dia. / 3mm thick magnets buried in the various speaker baffles (I used eight per baffle and eight per grill) - make sure to get the polarities right!! I also superglued (CA glue) them into place to stop them dropping out:





Grill stand off and magnets:

I intend to paint these in black duratex, going for a smooth-ish coating, then fit (probably glue), the speaker fabric.  The small magnets are surprising strong and take the weight of the plywood comfortably.

Hope this info helps?

Those look great!    I’m looking to make a set of covers to keep little fingers out of the dust caps  also
I listen with drivers uncovered but like the protection when I’m not looking or around.    Thank you for the help.   Greatly appreciated
