How should I ship these babies?

Hi WarrenH,

I just had an experience of shipping a 98# amp from PA to CA and back without incident. The key is to double box it in a box that is double walled and to get it there as fast as possible, in my case it was three days.

I'll send you a PM to give you more details.

Via a trucking co. like BAX Global.

It is best to separate the two subs. It will keep the weight down and give you more options to choose which shipping service (UPS, FedEx, etc.) to use. I have taken a pallet and cut it in half and used it to ship heavy delicate items. It will keep the weight down and minimize damage. Shrink wrap items to the pallet and double box if possible. At this time of year business is booming for shippers and the priority is to get the packages to your door on time not in what condition.

Dayton Freight did a nice job for me. They delivered speakers (160 lbs each) to my house and I later shipped them out from my house just fine. The speakers were delivered to their new destination fine. They were double boxed. They each had a small pallet on the bottom connected to the bottom of the box and I used adjustable shipping straps to strongly secure them to the pallets(got the straps at Home Depot and they work great). So if you still have the pallet and can do it, you may want to cut it in half as suggested above, get the shipping straps from home depot, secure each sub to each half of the pallet and use a freight carrier like Dayton Freight to pick them up at your house. Bax Global does not do residential pick ups.

Dayton does not ship to the areas I'm interested. But thanks. The bottom line: looks like it (though a bit more expensive) will be UPS. The least problematic for residential to residential since that be what we are dealing with, here. with insurance we're talking $260. Not too bad...
