Im finishing a few speakers off in the next week or two, Ill need speaker cloth for at least 2 pairs. Id like to get good quality as the speakers cost a packet, (Danish drivers and top line componants).:)
Who do you get the stuff from?
I got mine through Rockler. They had three colors last time I looked. Here's the link.

Whoops! Looks like they've discontinued the white. Two colors only now.
Put on a false moustache and spend a half hour browsing in Spotlight!

They have a number of different types of fabric suitable for grilles, and you can also pick up dacron wadding.

Go to Spotlight (female version of Bunnings) and check out material there. You can get the equivilant of proper speaker cloth for a fraction of the price, and you can get it in wonderful colours is so desired.
Forget the false moustache, just walk around with a limp wrist so the sales assistants don't give you funny looks. It's like your invading a private inner sactum at times.
Grille cloth! what's that? Is that the stuff that spoils the look of your drivers....:D
just an update, after redoing the grillcloth on my cab with a bit thinner stuff (70% shadecloth as opposed to 90% which i realised i had used last time) and with a proper stapler, as opposed to thumb tacks. it looks great, doesnt vibrate with the low frequencies (was moving pretty far ~6-8cm) and is now plenty tight. only downside is the 18x18mm tas oak frame is pulled in around 6mm or so at the edges of the long side (640mm from memory) due to the tension. the vinyl around it is black so its not really noticeable, but shows the amount of tension i had to put on the thing to get it looking and feeling really nice and tight. looks very professional though.
