CECAA850 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'm about to put a pair of LSI's on my back patio and once they're out there, they won't be moved. The area is covered but it's still outside. I've had several speakers out there, sometimes for 4-5 years at a time with no issues from the elements/atmosphere even though it gets extremely hot and humid here. I'm looking for someone who makes speaker covers. Anyone have a source or suggestion? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an upholstery shop that we use at work that I gave my dimensions to. It's been several weeks and they never got back with me. It kind of ticked me off as we use them quite a bit.

Marvel Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Carl, While living in Madison, WI a long time ago, our campus ministry had a pair of small PA speakers that we hauled around all the time. We went to a tent and awning maker and got very nice fitting lightweight canvas covers made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 To keep pace with past threads that resulted in quick answers to the original post, but then went down the rabbit hole with information that provided months of fodder for additional members to give their expert opinions on, shouldn't we consider the following: 1. What material would be best for the application? 2. Ties or Velcro? 3 . Wind rating for specific materials. 4. Stitch count and the gauge on the thread for stitching if it's better than Velcro. 5. Warranties 6. Breath ability when the average humidity for the area is calculated properly. 7. Color and will it properly blend with the surroundings? 8. Installation and removal time of various covers. 9. Budget 10. WAF, her opinion should be considered as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 1. Plaid... perhaps a Stewart. Waterpoof cotton canvas. Good grief, if a tentmaker, awning maker, boat cover maker, etc., is any good, they will know the best way to do it and what materials to use.

TasDom Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Not custom but there are a lot of BBQ covers that might work... https://www.google.com/search?q=bbq+covers&rlz=1CATAAA_enUS874&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5ltj1pcLmAhUSa80KHa33BMUQ_AUoAnoECA0QBA&biw=1300&bih=629&dpr=1.05&safe=active&ssui=on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 19, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2019 Have no idea who makes them but the covers made for the KP600's are very nice, extremely durable and somewhat padded with nice zippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I might go with the coversandall web site. The local shop just called me back and quoted $310.00 plus tax. Thanks @mungkiman Thanks everyone else also.
