I agree with Dtexan on the sounddomain.com forum..... BUT

I prefer using speaker grill cloth and fiberglass resin...

I mean, when you are making chicken soup, you don't use pork, do ya? :)

YEAH .... I have been through this for 2 times already ....

Use Fiberglass Resin at Home Depot $25 per Gallon, you might need 2. Get extra hardener while you are there, one is enough. and get a lot !! I mean a lot of disposable brushes.

Fabric ? I went to fabric shop, ask the seller for item on sale or the cheapest they have. I prefer cotton with a little polyester mix, a little stretchable ... not too stretchy, otherwise it will deform a lot when the fabric is soaked.

What setup or placement are you planning ? I might help ;)

here's mine
