Do these speakers have a grille over them, or are they just open? From the pic it appears they are exposed.

Yes, they have a detachable fabric cover for the speakers! They are very easy to take off and put on.
765873
Yes, they have removable cloth-covered plastic grilles. (the sub has a permanent metal grille)

Yeah there is a cloth / plastic frame over them! Amazing speakers I don't regret buying them for a second!

I have installed these speakers totally exposed and they have lasted several years the grills might become rusty looking depending on the area you're in

I left mine in, just took the old grilles off because they had rotted and broken into the speakers. Took a vacuum and carefully sucked out all the stuff that fell in them, and popped the old grilles off with a screwdriver. I never tried taking the speakers out. hope this helps you...good luck

I just cut a hole and mounted them with no speaker box. They sound fine to me. some people and installers have recommended adding insulation material to help these speakers sound better.

do the 'mods', i.e., at least remove the tweeters from the faceplates and seal them to the faceplates/tweeters mating surfaces with plumbers putty, and super glue each woofer cones' shield can to the baskets.damping these with 4" of rockwool bats behind the drivers an two inches on the rest of the interior surfaces (save for the duct exhaust areas) will yield hifi speakers on the cheap ;)

They are exposed and need to be mounted in wall or a box. They are not very good speakers and greatly lack bass

if your speakers have 2 posts...then it really shouldn't matter. if you want to make sure that they are element proof, then you'll have to figure out how to seal their entry into the housing.

Yes, the speaker grills cover the speakers in the rear of the car. Go to YouTube for a tutorial on how to install them. You will need a medium size flat head screwdriver a pair of pliers and maybe a hammer.Use a screwdriver to pry off the old grill. Use the pliers to pull out the little leftover nubs. If the nubs won't come out softly beat them down with a hammer. The nubs will fall into the speaker opening. Now all you have to do is vacuum the nubs and the mess out of the speaker opening and stick the new grills on. Hope that helped.

They are base speakers, not sub woofers. Sub woofers would require a much larger housing than what the lower fairing provides. The grill covers are a cloth covered plastic housing that covers the speaker and match the shape of the inner fairing speaker mount shown behind the speaker.

I purchased and installed these speakers a few weeks ago. The package I purchased did not come with grilles and they were offered with Prime shipping.

I agree with Michael Lex. If you take the covers off there is one speaker up high and the other side it is lower. I have mine set with the Polk logo towards inside. High speaker more in and low side more facing out

Teresa - not sure why I received this inquiry as I didn't buy this item. It does seem like there is a speaker grill on the front but again, I don't know for sure. Good luck (Happy July 4th) Peter

It comes with a kind of half grill. Look closely and you'll see a design on the top. There is no screen but a skeletal frame that covers half of the top. You can stick a pen through the speaker because of a lack of screen but they are ok looking... Haven't wired up yet so don't know the sound but they have to be better than Polk car audio.....

The housings appear to be plastic with a metal scree over the speakers. The housing has metal inserts for the screws that attach to the mirror mounts.

The speakers are fairly light but the bass box is quite heavy. I think is not problem at all mounting them.
