Waiting on shipped CRS+

I know I know...just looking for some reassurance that they could arrive issue free. I had them surrounded with heavy duty custom cut cardboard, then wrapped in multiple layers of thick bubble wrap, then placed in a box with peanuts. That box was then placed in another box with peanuts on all sides...what are the chances they arrive ok!?

Best of luck that they arrive problem free. Seems as though you've done everything you can to make sure it happens. Let us know the results as well as your thoughts on the CRS system.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden

Well I'm insured for THAT! Magnets and coil, not so much.

I was told yes, but after reading through the SDA handbook I'm more concerned with the 'heavy inductor coil'

The large spool inductor is bolted to the cabinet. The crossover mounts on top of it. You're more likely to have a few nylon standoffs break, than the inductor fall off, providing it's all original.Home Theater/2 Channel:

I have received a damage free SDA CRS protected with 2 layers of 1.5" styrofoam on all sides. I have shipped a few speaker pairs and receivers and always use this method, it's proven to be safe, if the package is handled responsibly.
The woofer magnets were not epoxied but arrive in good shape. They're not locked and apparently there's no rubs. -
If I had to bet I would put my money on your packaging techniques. I am sure they will be fine.Mojo Audio Illuminati v3>>Quantum Byte w/LMS>>Rpi/PiCoreplayer>> Starlight 7 USB >> Mojo Audio Mystique v2 SE>>ModWright SWL 9.0 SE Signature>>Hafler DH-500 Amp+ (Musical Concepts Fully Modded)>>

They arrived in flawless condition. 9/10 with all drivers sounding off! I haven't been able to set up perfectly, but the initial sound is amazing. I finally have a pair of SDAs!

If anyone can direct me to the best upgrade thread for a layman I'd appreciate it. There's so much info floating around.
