    Rear speakers fabric

    Does anyone know what the fabric/mesh is called that’s attached to the bottom of the speaker cover? And where to buy it?
    thanks!

    Just google "Speaker grill cloth".
    It's usually used to cover speakers from outside.
    It comes in different colors and weights. Probably, light weight is more appropriate for attaching at the bottom, but then dust will pass through it.

        I’m afraid these are too thick. I had Googled for an hour before the OP. I’m looking to match the thin paper-like film under the speaker cover.
        thanks!

          You may want to consider a mildly open woven fabric to match the original aesthetic if a 1mm open cell foam won't cut it for you.

            Try fusing then.

            It can be paper-based or woven.
            Usually, you put it on a piece of fabric and use an iron to slightly melt the glue on one side.

            I don't know about its acoustic properties.
