If you insist on using peanuts... might I suggest that if the speaker has a port to first wrap the speaker in plastic...

And... that is all!

    I thought the port was so you could fill the entire speaker with peanuts :biggrin: :cheesygrin:

    Anything shipped should be wrapped and sealed in plastic first. No exceptions. Prevention of movement in the box is next. I'd rather see an inch of cardboard around something than the of use peanuts, which are useless. Cardboard and wood glue are your friends.

    I like stuffing the speaker with packing peanuts! I get a smile on my face just thinking of the rage fit the new owner flies into when months after they thought they got them all, another one come shooting out of the port in the middle of "Lord of the Rings" or something!

    I'd recommend 3 or 4 cans of expanding foam.

    The late John Wyckoff (Hammer Dynamics) recommended using peanuts as stuffing material for his "Super 12" speaker design (sold as a driver/XO kit). The ported speakers would occasionally puff a few odd peanuts from their ports when playing.
