Moving my 1Bs

[bigaltx24]

I am going to be moving to another state in a couple of months. What do I need to do to make sure my 1Bs survive the trip?

If it was me I would JB weld the drivers and since they are out I would pack them up real nice with the cones facing up in the box.. If this is already done I would lay them on there back for the journey with moving blankets and of course make sure to not let anyone stack anything on the face of the speakers..

Move them to my house and they will be just fine :tongue:

I have heard--but not verified--that strapping the + and - terminals together with a short piece of speaker wire will reduce cone motion in transit.

You're saying to glue the magnets to the baskets?

[Toolfan66]

Just the magnets as sometimes they will shift during transport, not always but it does happen, and for the cost of JB Weld as apossed to finding and buying another driver or two or three it's a no brainer IMO..

Here is a link I did some time ago. if you serch my other threads with SDA upgrades you will find more info.
