That speaker looks great! I have some black one π speakers too, but I cheated and veneered them in formica.
I've only ever had to cover the midwoofer for club installs, because they've all been three π, four π and hornsubs. The drivers aren't exposed on the hornsubs, and the compression drivers on the mains have a screen. So only the midwoofer needs a grille.
I do have one commercial install that uses constant directivity cornerhorns in all four corners - a fairly small, intimate dance hall - but cornerhorns don't need grilles. We discussed using a side grille on the bass bins, but in the end, the owner decided against them. Turns out, they weren't needed, 'cause there's never been a problem. Tame crowd, little chance of foreign objects making their way to the woofer cone.
