Speaker Grille Cloth

Hi there,

I know this probably needs to be in another forum, but I didn't know which one ! I'm building some speaker pods and want some fabric to stretch over the front. Will normal fabric be OK or would the proper speaker fabric be needed ? Also, where can I get some from ?

Cheers,

Richie.

no worries mates , i was tempted to go for the blue myself, but my black speakers would look lame in the blue, so i'm gonna settle for good ol' black grills again

How much do you need?

I've got about 5 square metres of medium weight black speaker cloth that I can donate to a worthy cause, how much do you need?

No problem Paul, don't worry about a SAE.

Shahedz, I can send you that so long as richjthorpe doesn't need a big bit too

Rich... do you want some?

Dave
