Too many boxes

I employ a tact very similar to A/gon member Dekay. My Von Schweikert 4.5 shipped in 2 boxes per speaker.(upper and lower cabinets that stand about 5 feet tall). I filled the boxes with old newspapers and stuck the boxes in the corners behind the speakers. Ba Da Bing!!!!! Can you say bass traps. Sound stage and imaging were improved and at about $500 for a single 16 inch ASC bass trap I figure I saved about a $1000 which can now be applied towards new software. You can stack the newspapers neatly in the boxes or crunch them up and throw in boxes for a random pattern of diffusion. Final touch would be to wrap the boxes in a solid color wrapping paper, like gold, silver, or chrome (adds a bit of reflection for the highs). YMMV

I have a platform under the house where I store all my boxes. They make great homes for black widow spiders. That's probably why I only have 28 feedback responses instead of over 200.

In the ceiling of my garage - 4 full systems worth (kids gear as well). Drives the wife nuts when she looks at them but I tell her that they're not in the way and they take up less space than all her "brick-a-brack" throughout the house!!!

Rosstaman-- thanks for the warning. You may never sell anything via A'Gon again;>). Like Rgd, mine go in the garage rafters, and fortunately incoming and outgoing have been about equal, as the rafters are pretty full. Cheers. Craig

Two 10X 25 storage lockers with 15 ft ceilings. Build lofts, and keep ladder in locker. Costs $90 a month for both but at least my house is less cluttered.
