All my large heavy speakers arrived with bad boxes they all bulky takes lots of space , heavy snd hard to reuse

Which brand makes the best boxes ?

Where do you guys store your speaker boxes ?

I want to ship one pair of speakers to a deferent house snd started to think of it when I realized what a headache it is

I have shelves high up in my garage for my audio boxes.
Good to hold onto them for potential future shipping.
Uline has a great selection of boxes and packing materials available if needed.
 
I have the boxes for every pc of electronics and speakers I bought in the attic. The boxes for the new Fynes just made it thru the opening.
 
I have 7, 10 x 20 storage units, some air conditioned for trade/consignment gear.

My shed is full of audio boxes, I wish they were less heavy and foldable

The two large, wooden crates for my speakers are in the garage. The more I look at them the more I think of getting rid of them.

"" in the attic."" Down here in Florida Attic's unless you are darn lucky and built your home with a nice walkin, are packed with AC duct-work, insulation and rafters supporting the roof. We miss our room over the garage and huge attic walkin we had on Lake Murry in SC.
Our double car garage in Fla is packed with the wife's Christmas decorations and some of my AUDIO boxes and her Lexus.

The storage rental is a possibility if it wasn't 20 miles away.
 
I have an 8 ft by 12 ft storage room adjacent to my listening room where all my crates and boxes reside. Got the builder to 'add' that room when we built.

wouldn't it be nice if we could just collapse the boxes and stack them, but packing foam costs an arm and both legs. Being a carpenter I was able to scoop a pallet and couple sheets of plywood from work to build crates for the salon 1's I sold but the bubble wrap and bags of loose packing foam still cost me nearly $300!
 
If your speakers come in a wooden box/crate, the cheapest and space-saving thing to do is to disassemble the box/crate and store it. That’s what I did and saved hundreds of dollars a year in storage.
Make sure that you write down your own re-assembly instructions for future reference.
 
I have a short little story regarding my speaker/equipment boxes. Many years ago I purchased a condo to be closer to work. I purchased a nice little system for it with some maggies, a Cary cd player, Cary preamp and a Belles Hot Rod amp. I had a guy touching up the place and he was also doing general clean up. That afternoon I got a call from a teed off contractor blaming me for throwing boxes in his dumpster. Needless to say, the handyman threw all of my boxes away. I apologized to the guy and explained that the boxes were expensive and could he please not get rid of them. I hauled butt over there and saved them. The handyman thought he was doing me a favor, he didn't know the boxes were that important. BTW....he got my contact info from the shipping labels.
 
We have a rented storage room... our house has no storage what so ever... so we have the Christmas decorations, audio boxes, and other various things in there.
 
Yes CPP and I (and Mike) live in Florida…. As this week shows it might not rain as much as in your backyard Greystoke4 but when we get rain as this week threatens we go all in! 👍🏻

I am lucky that my home was designed with a 20’ x 40’ x 12’ open floored attic. Sadly some of my boxes do not fit through the the drop down stair’s framed opening…

That's cool. Wish we had that attic space.

Hey greystoke , it rains all the time in the sunshine state in the summer. . And in a few days it will be blowing and raining. :popcorn:
 
Most attics get so hot the cardboard starts to fall apart...bad idea to store boxes there

Never had that problem with cardboard boxes stored in the attic (some for over a decade). There must be something else happening in your attic.
