How to wrap Klipsch tower speaker using a custom printed wrap.

Are you looking to give your Klipsch or other tower speakers a fresh, personalized look? Wrapping them with a custom vinyl printed wrap is a fantastic way to achieve a unique and stylish appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you wrap your Klipsch tower speakers like a pro.

Materials Needed:

  • Custom vinyl printed wrap

  • Measuring tape

  • Cutting tools (utility knife, scissors)

  • Squeegee or smoothing tool

  • Heat gun or hairdryer

  • Isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Ensure you have a clean, dust-free workspace. Lay down a soft, clean cloth or mat to protect your speakers during the wrapping process.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Vinyl

Measure the dimensions of your Klipsch tower speakers carefully. Add a few extra inches to your measurements to ensure full coverage and allow for adjustments. Use these measurements to cut your custom vinyl printed wrap.

Step 3: Clean the Surface

Thoroughly clean the surface of the speakers with isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth. This step is crucial to remove any dust, grease, or contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the vinyl wrap.

Step 4: Align and Secure the Vinyl

Carefully align the vinyl wrap with the speaker's surface. Use masking tape to temporarily hold the wrap in place and ensure it’s correctly positioned. This step helps avoid misalignment and wrinkles during application.

Step 5: Apply the Vinyl Wrap

Starting from one edge, begin to peel off the backing paper from the vinyl wrap. Use a squeegee or smoothing tool to press the vinyl onto the speaker’s surface. Work slowly and methodically to avoid air bubbles and wrinkles. If you’re using application fluid, lightly spray it on the surface before applying the vinyl. This allows for easier repositioning.

Step 6: Smooth and Heat

As you apply the vinyl, use the squeegee to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. Once the vinyl is fully applied, use a heat gun or hairdryer on a low setting to gently heat the vinyl. This helps it conform to the speaker's contours and improves adhesion. Be cautious not to overheat and damage the vinyl or the speaker.

Step 7: Trim the Excess

Carefully trim any excess vinyl using a utility knife or scissors. Pay extra attention to the edges and corners to ensure a neat and professional finish.

Step 8: Final Touches

After trimming, give the vinyl wrap one final smooth down with the squeegee. Check for any remaining bubbles or wrinkles and smooth them out. Tips for a Professional Finish

  • Take Your Time: Rushing can lead to mistakes. Take your time to ensure precision.

  • Use Quality Tools: A good squeegee and a sharp utility knife make a big difference.

  • Practice: If you’re new to vinyl wrapping, consider practicing on a small, flat surface first.

Wrapping your Klipsch tower speakers with a custom vinyl printed wrap is an excellent way to personalize your audio equipment. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can achieve a professional-looking result that reflects your unique style. Enjoy your newly wrapped speakers and the fresh aesthetic they bring to your space!
