just wanted to share my fix for making my speakers cat and grand kid proof!

I've found this to be extremely effective and as a bonus it waters the Shag carpeting in our living room when activated.

I just got another cat that thinks the whole house belongs to her unlike my last one that didn't bother anything so I can relate to this thread. 

Good idea as the only I could come up with so far is putting black garbage bags over the speakers that looks like crap but she hasn't touched them since I did. 

Just buy speakers with the metal grills.That was one of the reasons I went with the SVS subs.

Chicken wire won’t stop a finger poking 3 year old. Use Hardware Cloth instead.

Exactly, not even 1 year old like my son done on my ML twenty-five years ago.

My friend did this with his old ESS Heil Air Motion Transformer AMT-1A speakers in the late 1970s (which we thought were "high end"). He made some nice wooden frames to hold the chicken wire and back in those days he had to spray paint it black. He stained the frames the same as the speakers. Looked nice and didn't seem to affect the sound at all. He had two kittens and had never had cats before so it was all a learning experience. Worked fine. Grilles were never scratched.
