Raw speaker shipping boxes/methods?

[tomteriffic]

Despite being awash in guitars, basses, amps, pedals etc., all of which need to go, at present the things I seem to be tripping over the most are speakers, just raw speakers.  I need to clear some out, hopefully fob them off on you guys, but I've hit a problem.

When I get a speaker from Eminence, WGS, or whoever, they come in a nifty purpose designed package to keep them safe and warm during transit.  Naturally, I save boxes like that, but I've got more speakers than appropriate boxes.  I'm looking for a source for these or similar packing solutions.  I've cowboy engineered something on my own but I'm all ears if somebody knows of an off-the-shelf solution.

Hyelp?

Got nothing 'off the shelf' for ya, Tom. But I've received speakers that were set on a bag of expanding foam (inside a box) and when it cured it formed a really nice secure hold around the speaker.

Might be worth a try?

Basically protect the cone with cardboard, then wrap, place face down, bubble bags around the frame

Dumpster dive at your local car audio shop (or any speaker store or musical instrument store, for that matter), or just go in and ask nicely for old boxes?
