Source for boxes

[FredEmmerich]

Anybody know of a place where I can get boxes made for my JBLs? My original set of L96's I bought new. I had a roommate that threw all my stereo boxes away so these speakers are naked. I also have a set of 4312 and some 4425, all about the same size. I have gone to some of the local shipping places (Dallas) but they don't have boxes sturdy enough at that size and can't provide proper padding on the inside. I was wondering if there was a place to get some made and I figured you guys might know.

I will probably sell the L96 and 4312 and having boxes obviously helps. I am using them in a HT setup but I am considering getting a set of 4 S38's instead since they are much smaller. I'm not a zealot on the HT side of things. My 2 channel setup I have 250ti and have used the 4425's and they leave the L96 and 4312 behind.

thanks

L96 ought to fit inside here (http://store.uhaul.com/product_detail.aspx?id=2573) with styrofoam sheet (insulation) from your local home improvement center.
Let me know when you've got 'em packed and I'll send my address :D

I guess I can try and find some block styrofoam and carve it to the proper shape for the end pieces.

Places like Home Depot sell 4' x 8' styrofoam insulatation sheets in thicknesses from 1/2" up to 2". Much cheaper than going to some place that sells styrofoam blocks for hobbies, etc. And don't forget to take a look at the "packing" thread: http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=10246

Places like Home Depot sell 4' x 8' styrofoam insulatation sheet...:yes:

Some construction supply places sell it even thicker. Don't buy your boxes at Home Depot though. Their moving and storage boxes are very substandard.
