Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier.


We are moving and I have two amplifiers that do not have boxes. My concern of course would be damaging the amps during the move. I am probably going to be storing them for a couple of months. The amplifiers are Krell KSA 200s and a KSA 300s. Does anyone have experience in building a crate that they good lend some guidance ?
I have a full wood shop and are pretty capable.
Or would I be better off with cardboard boxes reinforced.
Any Help is gladly appreciated. 
Thank You.

Hello, 
A lot of moving companies do not cover damage to electronics. I would crate. Also, use insulation foam panels instead of upholstery foam. Try to build a cardboard box. Use the pink foam to surround maybe even double to 2” if you are really worried and build the wood box around it. You could use a 1/4 hardboard just in case you have a puncture on the out side of the cardboard box then foam then crate. Also, make sure the transformers are screwed down tight. When the move they get damaged. You will be happy knowing they are ok. Plus, if you decide to sell they are ready to go.
