I'm guessing:
Remove current speaker pod
make mounting points/baffle??
Spray glue fleece and stretch it to cover
Coat with resin
Cover with more fleece/resin??
also.. i've heard that people use bolts on the back, to anchor the new pod down... and i don't see how/where they do that?
If I do successfully make a pair (functional and asthetic) I may make molds out of it, to be able to produce some a little quicker. If people are interested. Just don't hold your breath.

Here is a couple of pics of what I did. Sorry it's not very detailed but it will give you an idea. I just cut out the original grill and build out with rings made from MDF and wooden dowels for supports and then wrap the entire piece with very thin stretchy fleece. You may want to add one or two layer of fiberglass on top of the fleece for extra stiffness. For the mounting I just used small screws and attach them to where the original rivots used to be. It's tricky to align them but can be done.
