So.... I just built some panels to make 6.5" CDT EF-61CF Components fit into the stock 6 X 9 openings of my grand cherokee. Here's a picture of the panels mine are built to replicate:

I noticed that there was extra room on the panel. Since I'm using the stock grilles (which basically look like the ones shown here

 ) I figured I could spray paint a portion of the panel silver/chrome and then put some blue LED's in the panel at the locations shown below

Then put those LED's on the fading circuit found here : https://metku.net/index.html?sect=view&n=1&path=mods/colorfade/index_eng and hide the circuitry under the dash somewhere and just mount a switch to turn it on. So the effect would be a soft blue glow that slowly fades on and off showing through the stock speaker grilles. I think this would add a little spice to the install seeing as I couldn't use different grilles without heavy modification that I don't want to get into. What do you guys think?

I'm doing a similar design with my speakers (I like lights, leave me be) but its more like post mounted onto the speaker facing the speakers. (2 for my 2-ways in my door with the felt removed so you can see it and hear better, 3 for my rear deck exposed 6x9 3-way) No fading, just a constant lighting.

I think it would look pretty cool, and that is one of those if you dont like it later.  You've only lost like $20 max, and you can just remove it.
