Jet Black Speaker Grill Cloth for Vintage Speakers Grills, Custom Home Theater Panels, Speaker Covers, Automotive Panels, 60 Inch x 36 Inch, A-569

I bought this speaker grill cloth to make my ugly speakers a little less ugly. I have been working to give new life to my dad’s old McIntosh System from the late seventies. The speakers had seen better days. After having the woofers re-coned, I decided to focus on the grill covers. Actually the first step was convincing the wife to let them in the house, lol. The first picture shows what they looked like when new. The ML-2M (M for Mediterranean Cabinet Design) had a green curtain behind the grill covers. Mine had deteriorated over the years so I decided to try the black grill cloth. I taped off the back of the grill leaving an area to spray 3M adhesive spray. That stuff dries faster than I expected. You have to work fast. My wife helped me stretch the cloth out over the back onto the area sprayed with adhesive. Then we trimmed around the edges to remove excess. The order came with enough fabric to cover all 4 speaker grills. Fairly simple project and I didn’t have to spend a lot of money. The grill cover has been on for several weeks and still looks good. So, yes it’s still a dated and somewhat ugly speaker cabinet compared to modern equipment. However the grill cloth makes it look a little cleaner and neater while it protects the speakers from dust and pet hair. As a 40 year old system, the McIntosh still sounds great and I enjoy the nostalgia of listening to my dad’s system that filled our home with music as I was growing up. I would buy this grill cover product again!
