Focal 1028BE - protecting speakers for a move


Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before, but I couldn't find a thread on this.  I'm moving to a new house, which is about a 10 minute drive away and need to pack up my Focal 1028BEs.  I don't have the original boxes or styrofoam.  Does anyone have advice on protecting the speakers for transport, especially the beryllium tweeters?  I'm planning on using a small UHaul truck.

Thanks!

I have moved my Hartley Reference speakers (300 pounds each).  Remove grills and using very sturdy cardboard make a template, blue tape them on each speaker face.  Always protect the drivers.  Better safe then sorry and pissed off.  Whomever it is that will be helping you make sure they understand the gravity of screwing it up.

Proceed as posts above.
