Just hooked up an old Kenwood system in the garage, but I'm a little concerned about dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, etc. I currently have the system covered up with a towel (when it's not in use of course), but is there something else I should consider...or do I even need to worry about covering it at all?

    It's an old Kenwood, it is meant to be in the garage.

    I have had various systems in my garage for about 5 years and never once had any problems except for horrible acoustics. Mine is insulated though, and new doors that are tightly sealed. I guess it depends on where you live.

    Dust is real bad we have alot of dust at my work and despite our best efforts a cd lasts only like 6 months, as far as moisture it depends on where you live, here in CO its dry moderate to cold so not to bad but Dallas humid and hot not good had a receiver in my garage die in two week there.

    ROTFL:D:D True, but I'd like for it to live as long as possible. As zarrdoss mentioned, the Dallas humidity is what really worries me.
