Vent covers

Hey folks,

Someone mentioned using speaker grill's for vent covers. I have searched and can only find stuff like this..

These wouldn't block light from getting in. Has anyone seen a round vent or something that would let the air out but have dividers like the air vents in the car ( but don't have to be movable)?

Thanks!
Ron

Hey Ron
Try searching for computer fan filters. Here is one http://tinyurl.com/3xt7u
Some screw right to the unused mount holes and others snap on. I'm not sure about stopping much light but they should stop the bugs and the larger stuff. these look like they have the low resistance foam like used in furnace filters.
Hope this helps.

Over the past few years it seems hundreds of car stereo installation shops have opened up, almost on every corner in the larger cities. My bet is that they must have leftovers, discards, etc of all shapes and sizes. May give a few of them a try?

Use a peace of speaker cloth under the covers. It is like a shade screen. Should still breathe ok, but block most of the light.
