Tuki covers for EAW KF650

[Helge A. Bentsen]

Anybody used Tuki covers for EAW KF650?
Pros/cons?

Or do you have another manufacturer you prefer?

I have 8 boxes that really needs a paint job, but I'm delaying that until I get hold of some proper covers.

Peace, this is Imran in Chicago. I'm in the same position as you with the speaker cabs. What covers did you go with? Also, what is the right process to go about painting these boxes

I never got around to making covers for these, I made wheelboards for them with padding.
Sold the system for a KF750 system and LA325 for smaller gigs.

Helge (i don't know if you still need some) - there's a german company that make real good ones:

Greetings, Imran -

To my recollection the finish used by EAW was a catalyzed urethane from Sherwin-Williams, Polane-T® is what comes to mind. It's water based with a low VOC. Polane also comes in a couple of solvent-based formulas and you'll want to avoid them.

Especially if your spray booth is so small that you have to slide between the cabinet and the plastic draped wall so tightly that your respirator brushes against the cabinet and breaks the seal with your face just as you happen to inhale deeply and breath in a lungful of Polane and MEK.

Not that anyone would be that dumb of course.

I've been known to "borrow" one of the downdraft paintbooths at a GM dealer I used to work for......l
