Subwoofers - Grille off or on?


I know speakers always sound best with the grilles off. Does this apply for subs too, or does it not matter?

Stan,
Raul is a GURU, he is also one of the nicest and helpful folks you will ever meet. Raul, Shadrone, Albert Porter and a few others are an asset to this forum and hobby as a whole.
Stan some speaker grills have built in tuning material for the tweeter for example. If a grill does in fact attenuate the treble some speakers may infact be made with a hot tweeter to account for the grills. Its matter of opinion and personal choice but it is not fact.
I dont like the look of speakers with grills off, reminds me of college kids for some reason but I also dont hear a negative in sound so that works for me, others like them off and thats cool too.
