rockhound Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I recently aquired a couple pairs of kpt-=456's. One pair will be in the garage I would like to cover them when not in use. Can anyone recommend bags for these? I have blankets over them now which works but would like something a little better looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Great speakers, did you get these from Rescue Audio in St Louis? I don't know if Klipsch made covers for these, but maybe another Klipsch cover might work, could be hard to find though. You might try a company that makes guitar amp covers. I know a guy that had some made and they were priced better than I thought. Might look here....http://www.amplifiercovers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yes they are far exceeded my expectations. I think I'm going to go with cloudnine covers. Pat is easy to work with and the product is made in the good ole USA which I prefer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockhound Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Not bad at all is what I thought. Worth it for me to have peace of mind while I'm gone. I'm in Houston now but didn't want to risk traveling with your amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're still welcome to stop in albeit empty handed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I am thinking great big heavy duty plastic garbage sacks for mine It gets dusty in the shop at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 I had considered that also like large furniture bags at uhaul. I wonder if moisture would be an issue? I live in a very humid area and the speakers would be covered for at least 2 weeks at a time so I would think they would need to breathe?

I played them most of the weekend as I had projects in the driveway area Sat and Sun. I doubt that humidity and the covers will be an issue. Are they breathable?

Marvel Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I had some p.a. speakers at one time, without any covers. I had covers made at a tent and awning shop, with a fairly heavy canvas. It didn't cost much at all (can't remember exactly how much). They took measurements off of one of the cabinets. They even put flaps over the carry handles.

rockhound Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Update** So a fellow forum member made me a set of bags for the 456's. They are very well constructed and heavy duty, great craftsmanship. The price for these were very reasonable, as a matter of fact when I inquired about the price after they were test fitted he simply said "donate the proceeds to a charity of your choice". This forum is great and what makes it that way is the folks like this individual. Eye candy attached...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hmmmmm, I have a few HEAVY clear plastic bags that were used inside of extra heavy duty cardboard shipping containers. IF you're just looking for something to keep the dust off... Pallet size and about 4' high. You pay the shipping and they're yours. Would be sweet and they last forever. PM me if you're interested. Before I retired I dragged them home to put leaves in, which never happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
