Im about to take on a 2x15 Laneyt bass cab after chasing a 2x15 for ages. It has the usual black metal grille on the front and my question is.....if i cover this grille in a reto looking silvery speaker cloth will this effect the sound/efficiency of the cab? Was thinking of usuing a spray adhesive onto the grille (obviosuly while off the cab) and pressing it down onto a length of retro speaker cloth before cutting to size etc

It won't have any noticeable effect on the efficiency or sound of the cab.

I suspect though that the shape of the metal grille will show through.
