What's the folklore on transporting large speaker cabinets?

First of all, no road cases.
Facing up, down, or on their sides?
Guitar cabs, big bass cabs, high end home audio....


Ask a woodchuck what he thinks, and run it past a skunk and an owl.
Speaker side DOWN so nothing rams through the cloth grilles and paper cones. Lift with your legs, not your back ;)

what is the best way to hang large speaker cabinets in my garage?



you could also build racks in the corners (as I did). Works well, and looks nice.

but wire's off of visible floor joyces can work well too. If it's a finished garage I would build corner racks.

What is the best way to transport guitar speaker cabinets without damaging them for shows?


This is for an 8X10" bass cabinet. Speakers up, down, or standing on its side?

Dif between a DJ speaker or PA Cabinets?

I want to buy something with two subs that is loud and looks pretty good too. However, I wonder which is better and what is the dif? Also, if i can connect them to a receiver?


DJ speakers and PA cabinets are pretty much the same.

You can connect either to a receiver, but you would not want to use that for events with an audience. The receiver will not be loud enough and if you push it too much it will distort the sound. Distortion is what blows speakers.

You really need to invest in a proper power amp for your system. The watts of the amp should be at least the watts rating of your speakers to get the best sound from them.

    “When he was in there, he obviously asked about the amplifiers. He wasn’t happy with the amplifier he was using, and so Mr. Marshall built an amplifier for Pete Townshend with [engineers Ken Bran and Dudley Craven] at the back of the shop.”
