Altec Lansing Expressionists with trousers for transport?

The Expressionist™ Bass– FX3022 computer speakers would benefit from trousers in transport, to protect the bass elements. The trousers could well stay on, as long as they are made of a cloth with little audio interference.

I have just come into possession of a couple of Expressionist™ Bass– FX3022 computer speakers. One task for them, besides being computer speakers, will be to be part of a mini dance PA system - just a small Sansa Clip MP3 player and the speakers, that you can bring with you to the improvised dance hall. However I noticed that the demo speakers in the store had bass elements that had been dented. There is nothing to protect them in transport, if you say throw them in a bag with other stuff.

So I have been trying to come up with a way of protecting the bass elements.

However the obvious solutions, a grille or a piece of foam does not seem to fit easily to the bottom of the speakers. So, why not wrap them in cloth?

And here is where the conical shape of the speakers starts to work with the solution: By wrapping the bottom part of the speaker enclosures in cloth, you can easily fixate it with a "waist belt" around the cone shaped body. The cone tapers upwards, so any tightening of the belt would just make the fit of the cloth along the bottom tighter. This should be enough to protect them in transport. And it would look like your speakers were wearing trousers!

So someone needs to make them.
