I dont have any scales these days, just wondering how much these weigh in total? 18mm ply boxes, PD154's.
norty, you have the same boxes as me...... do you have scales? err, human ones

all you need to know is that they're light enough to carry on your own if you aint a wuss and much lighter than any other bass bin (that i've picked up anyways). Put 2 bar handles on the sides and they're a piece of piss. |

Yeah, i know, I have 8 of them
Getting 8 upto my 5th floor flat without a lift was a bit of a bitch, especially since i cant even park nearby. Thank god i got a lockup sorted starting this weekend Anyway, I was just curious really |

I haven't got round to measuring the HD15's yet but the X15's are about 32-34kg (crap scales) Going by human judgement i'd say the HD15's are going on 40kg although yours might be less without the metalwork. They're certainly a preferable 2 man lift ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |

From that I infer you are a wuss. ------------- "It sounded like a million fire engines chasing ten million ambulances through a war zone and it was played at a volume that made the empty chair beside me bleed." |

I have to unbolt the speaker everytime i carry it up stairs and carry it up seperate its a right headache.Driver is bolted in with 8 huge bolts from behind baffle, and you remove the back of cab to get at it....Driver weighs a ton like 30kg and is damn tricky to hold[by gripping magnet] So I can see myself selling those sub bass bins if i do any more upstairs parties/gigs. Can lift up to 40kg on my own, 50kg is a stuggle for me to lift.

I guess it must be because of my stupid short arms or wussness, but carrying 8, 5 flights of stairs, on my own is a utter whore!
Thank god for lockup with lift and stuff, horray! |

Yep, car to house are fine but as soon as a reasonable distance and/or stairs are involved I have to get the girlfriend out to lift the otherside (and it strengthens her grip so there are secondary benefits too...) ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |

| Buy a flat on the moon and you'll be able to float them up the stairs. Having no atmosphere may be an issue for the sound though. |

thats all very well for you rich folk with long horn paths. I'm 6'5" tall and only have an HD15 horn to fit in. That's why i walk with a funny limp and a stoop (the twitch is due to 'other' things....) ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |
