Re: 8*T30 30" dual 12" european

The angle between panel 7 and 8 is less than 90 degrees, which means that a 45degree angle will not allow proper fit and contact. Sorry.

Fear not. Go, boldly, forward. And, yes dry fit. :)

Looking good, Shawn.
You're correct. They are not small.

Re: 8*T30 30" dual 12" european

Oh boy.
One has more control on handling an object when the hands are hip/shoulder width apart.
Does that make more sense?

Re: 8*T30 30" dual 12" european

For the best control, when handling the subs, is to be able to have one's hands just outside the hips. Farther apart, and one loses strength. Too close, and one loses side-to-side control. Just a thought.

Re: 8*T30 30" dual 12" european

My thoughts about handles is to put the hand-holds in ALL the possible corners. With a 30" cab, I am thinking that 3 handles per corner would be a good option. On my T39s, there is one corner that don't have the hand holds, and I miss them. It causes me to think how I might have to lift them in...
