Just a tip for anyone looking for a budget grill cloth replacement. I recently picked up a pair of Sunn Concert Monitors for $80 at my local Music-Go-Round. After a lot of elbow grease scrubbing the smoke residue out of the tolex the cabinets looked so good I decided that new grills were in order too. Rather than doing the Wendell Fabric mail order thing again (as I did on my 412s cabinets) I did a little research on-line and found that folks out there were using outdoor sun shade fabric for budget grill cloth. After trips to both Lowe's and Home Depot with no luck (even though they both use the stuff out in their garden centers to shield their nursery stock) on a tip from a friend I went to a local Harbor Freight store where I found an 8' x 10' black mesh tarp/sunshade for $22. These tarps are woven out of PVC thread and are very strong and resistant to tears. The grills on the monitors look great against the white baffle boards, are acoustically transparent and I still have plenty of extra "fabric" for my next project. I will try to post some photos of them when I have a chance to snap a few.
