I could but I haven't gotten to taking the speaker out yet, so I haven't seen how the cloth is attached.
For that matter I don't give much hoot for the original method of attaching it; as long as it is attached to a separate board, like it was in my 20 console, I staple it.
What I did was putting a continuous bead of Elmer's glue around the perimeter of the board at the face side and also around the screw holes, also at the face side, then stretching the cloth a bit on a hard (non-slippery, like an ironing board) surface, putting the board on top of it, and then folding and stapling it, making sure the glue grabs it around the perimeter and at the holes. This ensures that the cloth will stay put over time and the screws, that will go through it, will not initiate the ripping process.
I made sure that the glue bead was outside of the viewable area of the cloth, as it will discolor it.
