What do you use to carry the sub around?

I picked up a extra garage door handle (free) from the overhead door company,(matter of fact they gave me a whole sackfull, they work great on lots of things) and attached it just a tad forward of center on the top of the sub. (don't get any closer than 4" of the front), that clears the speaker from possible sawdust droppings). If you do this you need to predrill the two holes and be carefull not to get any sawdust inside, (your drilling thru 3/4" particle board so stop the drill when your barely through). I used two 3/16 X 7/8 long lag bolts, and a wood tapered drill bit a tad smaller than 3/16". (very secure and easy to carry). the handles are left overs from the inside of garage doors,not needed with auto openers. Can be pre/painted. I think Gary uses a weblike sling which works fine,but this way is one less item to worry about.I would not consider using bolts instead of the lag screws, you'd have to take off the back (a zillion screws and its double sided tape sealed, you could cause a rattle if not careful).....Cheers .....pose

I carry mine in a duffle bag, I just don't zip up the top.

Walmart has many size carry bags to choose from.

I use a computer strap. I think Gary posted the link several months ago. It works great.

Computer strap--$16.95 and supports up to 70 pounds. Just leave it on the sub and no one in the room will know.



You'll find them at Cyberguys

I got a rolling duffle bag from KMart. I guess that would be Sears Essentials now. It makes easy work out of moving the sub.

I covered the sub with hard-wearing speaker carpet and fitted corner protectors and then 3 strap handles across the top. There is a photo a description on an old post at

Mark ... Thank you ...I had forgotten about your set-up ... really neat ... I am in the process of making something real quick and (relatively) easy for my first gig with the 55s on Friday ...
Next I will work on the carpet for the sub ... I just get VERY queasy about drilling into something when I don't know exactly what's on the 'other side' ...

PS BTW ... why the three handles ?!???

Hi Mark

I came across those pics of your set up that I saved just the other day. I really do like that idea for carpeting the sub.

Scott

Tony,

Sorry for the delayed response. The middle handle is for carrying with one hand (while carrying something else in the other hand). If I am feeling lazy I can use the outer handles with both hands and just carry the sub by itself. So I guess you could say that the three handles are for balance.

I too was worried about drilling into the sub, particularly for the handles. The 'timber' is only about 15mm thick (9/16"?) so I added another layer of plywood to the top of the box before carpeting. This plywood is glued and screwed. The screws for the plywood, handles and corners are all chosen so that they don't protrude into the sub. It still works so I guess I didn't hit anything.

Mark ... as Confucious used to say "AH SO ..."

I don't know if you saw my rig in the "Played my first gig/job ..." thread ... as I said, next is the 1/4" plug box, and the carpet...
