Rotation is hard. It would be much easier to devise a sliding cover for the enclosure. Mount it with the speakers facing "up." Include a track or groove along the top and bottom of the front baffle and a install a solid or accordian-style cover (think of a window shade) that can slide over the speakers, hiding them. Connect the sliding cover to a 12V linear actuator and activate this with a relay triggered by your remote on wire. Have fun.

no joke steve..I would go the same route, A rotation on something that heavy would be extreamly hard. I would look into a automatic cover
