Transporting a pair of Cornwalls

[jason.justice]

I’m picking up some 1983 Cornwalls this weekend with a 3 hour return drive. 
 

tips for transporting them? Which side would be best to lay them down? Don’t think we can secure them safely right side up. 
 

I plan on bringing a bunch of blankets. 
 

TIA

flat on their backs... grills off.

Blankets are nice for lying on.

Have had good results with laying speakers on their backs.

And it takes 2 for your back not to suffer. ☕

Yep my friend and I are going down in his van.

pre-wrap the speakers with  plastic to avoid scratches  ,  put the speakers on their backs  with cardboard underneath  , add a thick piece of  cardboard on top of the speakers as a protection  , cover with blankets on top   .  take your time .

Nothing like having plenty of room to transport, and a friend.

As long as you have plenty of blankets, wrapping in plastic and cardboard is definitely not necessary.

When I transported LaScalas in my Blazer, and later in my Subaru Forester, I bought a sheet of 1/2 inch mdf, and cut it to fit between the wheel wells. I was able to easily slide the speakers in on an old wool blanket, as there was a smooth surface from front to back.

 

If all the drivers are on the back of the baffle, I would put the speakers on their fronts so all the driver weight is against the baffle and not hanging. Just my two cents.
