Default Speaker grill idea

I was walking through Sayal electronics the other day, not looking for anything in particular. And I came accross these, they are paper speaker grills, pretty sturdy and cheap, $1 something each. So I picked a few up for ****s and giggles.

And they fit the factory speaker recesses perfectly.

I have just begun my stereo install, I'm putting Infinity reference 4" in the front and trunk and 6.5" in the rear.

My plan is too cut a circle in the inner door to allow the magnet of the speaker the 5mm clearance needed to get them to seat properly and then use these grills with little velcro tabs to hold them in place.

3 of my 4 stock grills are busted, and have been glued a few times. I may be able to fix them, but these seem like a good option if I can not. Plus I kind of like how these look.

They look much better than in the picture.

Thoughts?

Oh and my 6.5" factory speakers are 4 ohm not 2 as many others have.

When I did my 90 GT I put in the infinity reference 4-1 in doors and rear, for the 6.5 bolster holes I put in JL 6 in subs. Sounded fantastic.

Those grill domes look pretty cool.

How are they held onto the speaker? Do they come with a trim piece?

I also purchased some metal grills with a rubber lip, they could be held on by inserting the edge under the rubber lip. But I plan on using Velcro tabs, by making a little wedge bracket on each of the 4 screws with the Velcro tab attaching the wedge brackets to the inside of the dome. That way they will look just as they do in my picture, minus my fingers holding them up!

I will post more pics once I get farther along, I just started last night.
