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.

Whatever you do, don't let the UPS store package anything of value for you. They completely destroyed a pair of PBN speakers that they packed for me a few years ago. I usually don't have problems with shipping claims, but that time it was a real bear to get them to pay up.

They used a single outer box (no inner) with popcorn packing material for an 90 lb. speaker. That's it. No end caps, no hard or soft foam. Just popcorn.
