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. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Don't take offense, but if that was chiberish too you, then you should take your idea to the best quality audio shop in your area and get the work done there.

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
