How to pack speakers w/out original boxes?


Help! I need advice on how to pack speakers,[Dahlquist 9c's], that don't have their original boxes. Speaker dimensions, Height: 23in., Width: 15in., Depth.: 12in.. Does anyone sell boxes big enough to ship these? They weigh 55lbs. each. What other packing materials should I use to protect them? Thank you in advance for your experienced Audiogoner wisdom! I'll take any advice that you all can give me.

Being fairly paranoid about shipping, when I sold an amplifier to someone in Thailand. I double boxed it with foam between the boxes but went beyond that and used construction adhesive to bond 1/8" plywood inside each of the four surfaces of the outer box. That worked well both to make the box more rigid and, theoretically, to prevent something from penetrating the cardboard and foam, like the toe of a delivery driver's boot, for instance.
