personally i would for sure. when my boat sat in summer before i had a canopy on my lift i took a tarp and made a taco and wrapped it around the top of the tower. The sides of the tower where showing but it covered the top and protected the speakers. I also made side skirts out of a sunbrella material i picked up on ebay to cover the sides. I just tied them to the cleats and tower and they hung under the cover.
