Just wanted to give a big "THANK YOU!" to all of you who gave me advise shipping out my speaker driver on the packing and shipping forum.
I took all the good advise and bolted the driver and crossover to a 3/4" piece of plywood, with a sheet of bubble wrap and a soft felt piece between the wood and the speaker unit. Under the ply wood, I placed a jigsaw cut sheet of 2" foam as a cushon. Then I used foam sheets to line the inner box and insure the wood base wouln't move. All of this was in a new double walled box. I am pretty sure the driver was safe right then, but I placed that box in anotheer double walled box 4" larger in every direction, and used the 2" sheets of foam to line the spaces between the two boxes. Can anyone say OVERKILL!!!
After what my driver sold for and the fact it was flying to South Korea, I didn't want to take ANY chances of it getting damaged.
Due to the box size (24x24x21), I had to use FedEx Economy Air, cost the buyer $420, but he was happy with that. He just received it 4 days after I shipped it and said he couldn't be happyer with the speaker or the shipping. Said it was "Amazing packing".
:thmbsp: Thank you to Don C, CUlator, Vintage TX, Gyusher, and Styler!
