Custom speaker grills UPDATE

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

I was afraid of that. The parts are going to be laser cut and a brushed finish is an option. Aluminum however is quite a bit more expensive. My only choices of aluminum (although I can specify a different material, but that takes longer) are 1100 H14 and then 6061, 6063 and 6351 T6 aluminum. If I were to use the T6, it would be cheaper material-wise to make it out of stainless steel.

.118" steel is going to be heavy.
I'd go with .125" aluminum.  Aluminum for weight considerations and .125" for the stiffness required to safely conventional machine it.
Now, if you were to EDM the things, go with .080" aluminum, then use a brushed/clearcoat finish for that oh-so-popular "billet" look.

Okay, the prototype is done for these grills. It's located at http://photos.yahoo.com/sad_rocc It's a prototype because I haven't gotten out the ruler yet to make sure everything measures perfectly. How many people would be interested in these? You don't have to commit, just send me an email saying that you're interested in X amount. I don't have a price for people yet because it depends on how many are ordered. Also, I'm open to suggestions for change and what do people think of using Mild Steel at .118" thick? Mild steel is the cheapest material and I want to make sure people more experienced with metalwork don't think it's too thick or thin. These will be ringed with cork or dynomat to reduce vibration.
 
TIA,
Dan
 
PS- General Price estimate: This is how much it will cost you each if X are ordered (prices not guarenteed):
4 - $35-40
6 - $30-35
8 - $25-30
20 - $20-25

I'm in the beginning stages of creating custom speaker grills (for subs,
home speakers, 6x9s, whatever) and was wondering if others were interested.
Here's how it works. You mail me a drawing of what you want for a grill, I
draw it, have it machined out of aluminum, stainless steel or plastic and
send it off to you. It can be anodized, plain, powdercoated or hand painted.
I don't have pricing info (I'm designing my first ones now) yet, but the way
I'm planning on doing it until I can give accurate estimates of price is
that you send me the picture, I draw it and tell you the cost. You can then
place the order or you can walk away from it. As this is my first little
business venture, suggestions, comments and questions are all welcome.
