What about buying a pair of cheap wooden picture frames of the appropriate size, remove the glass, paint, and staple the speaker cloth to the back of the frame and then mount the picture frames to your cabinet so they cover the speaker holes? |

You'll be looking for "half-round" molding (it looks like t-molding, the part that shows)? They sell that stuff SUPER cheap at HD, and I think you could nail/staple one side, and use that to stretch it tight and finish off the other sides. |

Little late to help hulkster, but maybe somebody else can benefit. :/ I was going to route slots, too, but decided against it for two reasons: 1) Cabinet was already assembled, and the only router I have access to is too large to use in place and 2) I didn't want dust all over my living room. Ended up drilling holes for the speakers and I'm reasonably pleased with the results. |

Wow that looks sweet but how on earth did you get the pattern so neat? How long did it take? |
