Moving and Use
Mark Norgren:
Just wondering about the deployment of my subs and moving them around. I own 4 four KW181's. I saw where one person had stacked two subs and strapped them down to a four wheeled dolly. I imagine they rolled in and out of the trailer. Looked like they deployed and used them right on the dolly. Would you see a drop in performance when used up on say a 4 inch wheeled floor dolly? Any down side to this idea? I'm just trying to cut down my setup/tear down time. TIA

No, you shouldn't see any impact from being 4 inches off the ground
The concern I'd have with subs on wheels is the subs are then on wheels. I'd make sure that you have wheels with very good brakes or possibly a spacer to get them completely off the wheels while in use so there's no chance for roll away.

What's wrong with the factory casters? Even my old, fat ass can flip them and push them up the ramp still.
Mark Norgren:
The QSC's have the casters on the sides with the controls. They move pretty easy in and out of my trailer. Just trying to get where I can roll them into position and just plug them in? Northern tool sells those trailer blocks to keep your trailer from moving, I could use those to keep them from rolling around. Currently, I also have to find something to set them on, in say a parking lot, to keep them from getting all scratched up? This plan would also take care of that issue as well.
Funny, my fat ass can roll them around too, just have trouble stacking by myself. We have been moving this stuff around for a few years, and I'm just not getting younger or more enthusiastic about schlepping gear! I was just wondering about making it a bit easier and quicker?
Bill Hornibrook:
Biggest problem I have with subs on wheels is when the ladies twerk. (Serious... I DJ in a club that caters to young adults). I put them solidly on the floor because I want them to stay put. If that's not an issue in your rooms, blocking the castors somehow would probably work.
