As detailed in another thread, I recently acquired a used pair of Totem Sttaf speakers.
Having seen many similar speakers in showrooms with punched in driver domes, and having a home that sometimes sees rambunctious youngsters about, I figured better to "invest" in some grills, that to pay for new drivers.
I could have ordered Totem-original grills through my local dealer, but they would be pricy and, after having handled a pair meant for the very slightly larger Totem Hawk, I wasn't particularly impressed with their design.
So on Flint's advice I set out to built a set myself, using quarter round wood.
Other than some shop supplies (like a glue gun) and some Velcro patches, the only thing I needed to buy was $15C worth of fabric. Since it comes off a wide roll, I only needed a foot of it - and only needed to use maybe 40% of what I bought.
Here's an abbreviated summary, in pictures (and few words) of the project.
1. Quarter round cut and glued together into frames. Wood was already primed.
2. Frames sanded, filled, and painted flat black.
