8 inch sub grille

I replaced my stock sub and need a grille to cover it. I know a couple people have used an Audiobahn grille, but was wondering if there were any other choices that weren't just plain looking. If so let me know please.

For those who have the Audiobahn grille, is this it?

I am looking for a 10 inch grill, and like the aluminum flame Autobahn. When I was looking, I did a Google search and found a few grills-most common, that I already bought, is a waffle one that offers great protection. But, it uses 4 hold-downs that require additional holes, and they are rather big and ugly.

That is the grill I used. BTW, they are usually sold in pairs.

I'll probably just get the Audiobahn grille, since I can't find any others. Did you have to cut the panel around the sub, or does it fit over the top of it?

If you don't want something so flashy you should be able to get a "plain" grille at a car audio shop.

Edit...I see you wanted something not plain LOL!! The sub I purchased came with just a trim ring.

Mine came with a trim ring, but I'd like to protect it a little better. It doesn't fit good with the panel being so close anyway.

Soundstream has sweet grilles but I think the smallest they have is 10''.

I ordered the one from Audiobahn, I hope it fits perfectly...

This is what I'm working with:

I've tried ordering from two different places and they were both cancelled because they were out of stock. So if anyone happens to know where to buy these...

Edit: Just thought about this...They are sold in pairs, so does anyone have one they are willing to sell?

I had to use a spacer behind the panel to prevent vibrations, then I used the ring that came with it. I cut out the circle for the oem opening. I screwed the trim ring into the spacer through the panel. Then I just popped the cover on. I painted mine Victory Red when I did a bunch of the interior pieces.
