I think plastic wrap would seriously affect the output of your
speakers. If I was worried about dust I would wrap them in a thin cloth
bag. When the bag gets dusty, take it off and wash it.
I don't know about the projector though. I would think some kind of
dust cover over it would be essential. Maybe rig the cover so it could
be lifted off with a string and a pulley.
