whats the best way to package my 15'sx. I dont want to get raped by ups again for somethin i could do myself. and where would be the best place to get the materials.
okay this is the way i packed my sub when i shipped it.
i make a box that will make the sub fit in there with a little room. i lay 3 pieces of cardboard on the bottom. then i lay around 3 layers of bubble wrap on the bottom. then i set the sub down on it. then i use the bubble wrap to fill in the spaces between the basket and the box. then i roll up the bubble wrap and put it betweet the rubber surround and the box thick enough so the cone never touches anything in the box. the i lay 3 layers of bubble wrap on top. lay 2 more pieces of cardboard on top and then close the box.
damn that sounds like alot of work. might as well go get raped again. Thanks for your help tho chad. If i had the time to do that today i might would try it.
it sounds like alot of work but only took me 10 minutes to pack a sub like that. its really simple. besides you want to make sure the sub doesnt arrive doa.
do it simple like the way the companies ship heavy subs
1 - cut 2 square pieces of mdf about 1" wider than ur sub 2 - cut 4 pieces of 2x2" lumber about 1/2" taller than ur sub
what ur doing is making like a 'house' 4 it - 1 piece of mdf @ the bottom & u attach a 2x2 @ each corner like a post then u rest ur sub (magnet side down)on the middle between those 4 'posts' & screw the 'roof' on each posts
hope u understand my desciption - problem solved & wont u nothing much ...
