The speaker fabric arrived in the mail today. It looks as it was pictured. Before installing it, I first need to clean up the board it is applied to. I removed the old fabric, used some steel wool to scour off any remaining glue and fibers, and gave it a cleaning with mineral spirits (it was pretty yucky and had some signs of spills or other moisture damage). It looks to have been painted black on the side to which the speaker fabric is glued, so I'll give it a fresh coat. Aside from that, I've also got the cabinet on my front porch this evening, giving it a final overcoat now that the decals have had a week to dry in place.
