Hi guys,

I'm sure this is nothing new to anyone and almost everyone has casters on these monsters. Is there a DIY or a "what to do and what not to do" instructions for installing casters on JBL SRX728s? Any pointers? Weak spots I should look out for?

Thanks.

I invested in an $80 dolly from Sams Club and skipped the whole castor project. I often end up standing the unit up on end anyway to go around some corners and doors and the castors would likely get in the way.

Lovey little add on .... i'll post some of our pictures up of our boards (cost an arm & leg but worth it lol)

Yes, I bolted the whole board to the box.  4 bolts total through of 1 of the 4 holes in each caster.  Same as typical on roadcases. 

I believe I bought a half gallon pail of Duratex - but it may have been a gallon??  It was a regular item at their online store.  I also bought their foam rollers.

I didn't do covers.  I wanted to but didn't.  I did get quotes from both Cloud9 and Undercover.   I use a large area rug in the trailer to insulate the boxes against scuffs/scratches from road cases.  It works in my pack and is probably quicker.

Thanks Terry. That's good information.

It was probably a gallon since that's the only thing I saw that they offer. I think that would be great though because I could use the left overs to cover my speaker stands.

I do want to keep some covers on them though, so I'll probably go that route but not bolt them on to the cabs.

Also, I forgot to ask, what is the thickness of the boards? 3/4"?

2 coats on 4 boards took less than a half gallon. 

The boards are 3/4". 

You can get custom covers for your boxes to ride speakers up.  Its only marginally more and likely better quality than "factory" covers.

I have two subs, so I should have plenty left.

I was actually looking to get some Tuki covers for them. I have them for my QRx's and I love them. I can contact them though to see if they can make them a bit bigger to work with the casters. Thanks!
