    Those speakers were never shipped with plastic bags around the boxes.

    Most importantly, make sure your amp is common ground.
    Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

    I realize that, I wrapped them in plastic and placed mothballs in the plastic to keep moisture and bugs out.

    Presuming from previous posts that you have already purchased these?

    Probably high on the list of considerations would be getting the magnets glued, if after testing drivers for smooth, non-binding travel, all are good.

    Careful with transport until then, and keep them on their backs.

    The plastic wrap will possibly create and keep moisture in and your speakers will definitely now stink!!!

    Desiccant bags would be better than mothballs. They are great for gun safes as well..

    Scratch that. Most importantly, don't f*rt in the bag before sealing it up.
