Where to buy sub grills?

By the time I get my sub mounted in the back of my RAV4 I'll have a new puppy that will be travelling back there.

I need a full grill that will cover a 12" Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 with .6 inch of excursion. I really like the look of those Kicker covers, but a think a puppy would love to chew in between the spaces they have.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent looking cover? Also, they need to ship to Canada.

I've looked alot and I can't find anything, so any help would be appreciated.

the Infinity Perfect isn't 6" Xmech.. lol My RE triple X 12" subs have a full 3" peak to peak and they're far greater Xmech than those Perfects.. just to get that clear.
now for grilles, go to crutchfield, or partsexpress.com and get a set of waffle style frilles.
they are convex in shape so they arch away from the subs to add space.
If more is needed, you can cut a spacer ring from MDF to go between the grilles and subs, too.
those are your best protection against a puppy. far better than the fancy crap they make for subs like audiobahn or kicker that look pretty but don't really keep paws out of the cone area.
they aren't the prettiest things, but I used them in my car for years and never so much as dented one.

yeah 0.6" Xmax isn't too much for grilles.

Yeah, you shouldn't have a problem at all. Most grilles can provide about an inch clearance or more.
