    Default Preparing for Battle:Subwoofer Packing

    First, sub is wrapped in a garbage bag, chances are it will spend some time partially submerged in water on the rocky road between buyer and seller.

    Bubble wrap just provides a small buffer between sub and styrofoam.

    Place styrofoam around sub. Use a couple thin sheets of stryo for the grill side for a softer buffer.

    Prep the big box, in this case, 2 feet x 2 feet.

    Famous last words...
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    This story has a happy ending:

    "Thanks, the sub was delivered yesterday in excellent condition. All I can say is wow, there is a world of difference compared to my old 8" sub. I am very happy."
