shellylh Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I have a 2 year old staying at the house this week and I am afraid she is going to want to put legos or some other toy in the front port of my Monitor Audio 6 (for some reason Tim wants to have her play right next to the speaker system). The speakers have front ports. Would it be ok to cover the front ports with some sort of light cloth for the week (while the system is on). This is the main tv setup so I can't put the speakers in a different room. I'm not so concerned about the sound but whether it could damage the amplifier. My guess is that is probably ok but will look like shit. I was thinking of using thin like a disposable dish cloth like this.

shellylh Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Nevermind. I just remembered that the speakers came with grills. Duh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 After putting them on, wrap the whole speaker in blankets so the kid doesn't stick her finger through the grills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudeWolf Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I say wrap the kid, or the Lego bricks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Somewhat seriously. Some subs have foam inserts you can use to block the ports off. Look like a cut up pool noodle.... Also, I would be way more nervous about the drivers (even with grills) ... this coming from someone with kids and some dented drivers. In this case I would recommend upgrading to electrostatics, as they offer greater... "deterrent" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I would just electrify the speakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cee Tee Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Einsturzende Neubaten playing or NON-colorful <anything> to hide the speakers. Those colors were really eye-catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Everything else that is valuable I put in the study and I'm keeping that room off limits. Hubby wouldn't let me put the "TV" speakers in there though. I don't think he's going to let me put a fence in front of it or something like that.

Sherwood Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 The problem with pool noodle port blockers are that they inherently beg to be pulled out. Once you pull them out you have to put them back in, and once it's okay to put stuff in the port holes you've created a bigger problem than you've solved. I think speaker grills are perfect 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikongod Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I dont know if there is time, or how you would attach them, but you can get metal speaker grills. PS: congrat to Tyler for his 3000'th post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
