speaker covering or grill options?? i need help
<< < (2/4) > >>
hulkster:
alright, i ordered some speaker cloth from partsexpress.com and it came in yesterday.  it looks fine and it will probably look pretty good....however....now that i think about it, its gonna look kinda ghetto just like stapled over a piece of wood without anything covering it dont you think?  i mean, i dont know what else to do as far as creating speaker panels goes.  the main problem is the edges of the wood of the panels.  if i cover each panel in speaker cloth, it will have to wrap around each panel, and therefore kinda exposing the edge and making it not look very flush so to speak.  would i be able to cut the middle part out of some t-molding and place that over the ends to make it look like its protected??  i dont know how else to explain this, but just imagine a piece of wood about 7" wide, and to wrap that in regular speaker cloth, and the edges are now exposed....so how do i cover them??  

oh and by the way, this is my 1000th post!!  woohoo!  i talk too much :o
Ken Layton:
For the edges try some slotted wood moulding or some aluminum channel.
hulkster:
hmmm....where would i get that stuff?  im sure i could get the aluminum stuff from home depot, but what about that slot molding stuff?
Ken Layton:
Slotted door and wall moldings are available at any large hardware store such as Lowe's and Home Depot. It's back with the wood.
hulkster:
alright i did a search on google for "slotted wood molding" and looked around for a while and i found some stuff...i think....but the problem is, i dont even know what im looking at.  ive never heard of slot molding much less know of what it looks like.  is there any way you can find a picture for me?  i mean, im just kinda confused as to what to look for, how to do it, or even if i can use this method for my situation.
