This is probably of no use to anybody unless they happen to be using the same approach as me, but I’ll put it out there anyway. I had this same problem and it was driving me nuts. My speakers are just PC speakers mounted on brackets behind the speaker panel. I cut ugly rectangular holes in the panel to allow the sound to pass freely. I cover the holes with speaker grilles that attach with magnets. The grilles I made simply by cutting rectangular frames out of ¼” plywood, and stretching some adhesive-backed felt ($1 per speaker at a local crafts store) over the openings. It worked great, but the felt wasn’t thick enough to block the light from the marquee area. What I ended up doing was just taking the leftover felt and sticking it on the underside of the grilles to double up the thickness. It did the trick, and there is no noticeable degradation of the sound. |

What about those of us who have problems with speakers coming out of our lights? |

I ended up using a double layer of black weed fabric stapled down over the speakers. Total light blockage :-) Sound was not affected to any extent that I noticed. |
