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.
