Kustom 2x15" cab disassembly [message #4268] Tue, 25 May 2004 17:22 Anonymous Hi, I'm leaving in France and a friend of mine is looking for a Kustom cabinet with 2x 15 inches speakers (not easy to find here at a reasonable price). We might found one in a store in US but as my friend wants to replace original's speakers, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to disassemble completely the cabinet for the shipment (in order to decrease price). If anyone of you already did this, thanks to answer. By the way if somebody knows a cheap delivery service that serves France, it would be helpfull as well. Merci Report message to a moderator

Even if you did, the naugahyde would never look right. Finding a cheaper shipping method is a better idea. -Les Report message to a moderator

Re: Kustom 2x15" cab disassembly [message #4272 is a reply to message #4268] Wed, 26 May 2004 02:02 Anonymous Thanks for your answers guys. I'm amazed that a speaker magnet doesn't exceed 1.6 Kg (56 oz) for a 38 cm (15 in). My Audax 24 cm (10 in) have an heavier one. I'll look for a cheapest way of delivering it here. Thanks again. Merci means Thanks. Report message to a moderator

This may sound strange, but I think the only way to get the whole cabinet there safe is to crate it. If it gets there with rips in the covering, whats the use? It may be cheaper to get the cabinet parts taken off( name plate, caster ,ports, jack plate, handles, grille cloth, screws, and all the tuck and roll covering, but not the back)Have all that shipped including the covered back and just make a new cabinet for it there.
