Storage for Speaker.....One Year

I need to move out of my loft for one year. The place that I'm moving to cannot accomodate my speakers.

Can speakers be wrapped in blankets then put inside of an oversized plastic bag in Southern California in one of those drive up storage bins (Storage USA)with roll-up doors to the outside?

I have a friend in Southern Cal who says that I can store them in his garage. The reason that I mention the locale is that we don't get the freezing temperatures of the northeast US.

It will be two pair of Infinity Kappa 9 speakers.

Your help and comments will be appreciated.

thanks...mitch

I strongly reccomment against using those storage places. They are not known as person property redistribution centers for no reason.

I think they would be better off in yer buddy's garage, especially if you have the origional boxes.

I would recommend you wrapping the speakers in a foam wrap and then wrapping with a film and then putting them in oversized plastic bags. This should keep moisture and unwanted "friends" out.

Find a friend who will use them. Get them hooked on the habit.

If you can wrap them in plastic and set them on something about 8" high with steel legs to keep the furry long tailed citters from making condos out of them. The storage units you speak of should be fine I stored my Kappa 7's for about 7 months while my house was being built and no problems. But I did see plenty of "evidence" of mice in the storage unit.

I like Luc's suggestion. Doing this keeps your speakers broken-in while hopefully creating a new addict to audio. In addition, you'll be perceived as a generous person.
