ya, its a pb12-isd, but at 80 lbs, small was not the first word I would use to describe it, especially when lifting it. I'm in the process of upgrading to a smaller/lighter pc-ultra which will be much eaiser to move around because at least I can wrap my arms around it.
Without wishing to alter your desire to own a PC Ultra you shouldn't have to move the sub around that much. Well, not once you have it calibrated properly.
But there are much easier ways to move heavy, awkward objects. If you roll it onto an old blanket, rug or eiderdown you can move very heavy objects easily on carpet or any other smooth surface. You simply drag the blanket by the corners. Don't try and push the object itself.
The thing to watch out for is damaging or marking the object being moved if it should rub through the transporting rug (or blanket or whatever) Multiple layers of blankets or rugs will help here. Don't blame me if you damage something through your own carelessness.
If feet are easily removable then do so. That puts the invisible side of the heavy object downwards where it is least likely to show damage. You can put the feet back on when the object has found its new home.
Moving the cylinders is a piece of cake in comparison. You just tip it slightly and roll it around. With a little practice you could get work in a brewery.
While the cylinders may have a smaller footprint they are much taller and obviously more noticeable. I favour placing a table lamp on top when not in use if you have partner acceptance problems. It makes the cylinder look like it has a furnishing purpose rather than to simply act as a bass megaphone.
Creative use of cloth draped over or around the cyclinder can add a touch of drama to a room. The sub needs to breathe freely when in use though. So the cloth (and lamp) need to be removed or a large hole cut in the cloth where it fits over the top.
Do not place pot plants on top. Water spills will be very costly.
A scottish version could have the clan tartan wrapped neatly round and pinned. Sporans and dirks are optional.
I think that's enough rambling for one post. ;-)
