I'm in the Air Force and it would ease my mind if I ever have to move I would feel more comfortable with the speakers with the orignal boxes as it is on a semi across the U.S. For right now my plan was just to bring the rf 7's back to my parents house till i got out of the air force because I don't want them getting damaged in a move. Still hesitant to move them with me if I got orders I would have to see how they fit in the box.
