Very interesting indeed.
I've just bought into a franchise which carries out auto body repairs at the customer's own home or place of work, and I have a pair of Audio Note AN-Es which had the lacquer finish removed by the previous owner when he had a couple of dents filled.
I fancy sanding them down and applying an auto lacquer finish but wasn't sure if wood required a different lacquer with different qualities.
Still not sure obviously and a bit of Googling may be the way to go, but it looks a bit more promising after reading your post.
For the benefit of joebob, when applying auto lacquer it's usually a two stage treatment. Once the bodywork has been keyed up with 3000T abrasive the lacquer is applied to a semi-wet finish, left for a coupl eof minutes then a good thick coat applied to a wet, glossy finish and this is baked off with IR lamps for 45 minutes at up to 60 degrees Celcius before being polished up.
Wood might not need keying up and it may be that you can save the majority of the cost of re-lacquering by sanding down the speakers yourself, using progressively finer grades to get the smoothest finish possible.
Depending on the depth of the dents/scratches, you may find you can apply steam to the damage which usually expands the wood out again to it's original state and this would save you a whole lot of sanding.
Relacquering just the damaged area isn't something I'd recommend as on a vehicle you can never make it 100% invisible.
