For smaller boxes I like these:

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl ... er=260-770 you let the box rest on two wheels and two feet. The box won't roll and the wheels won't rattle.
Then put one of these on the cab and you're good to go. http://www.sciplus.com/category.cfm?subsection=20
The picture shows these with a plate for internal mounting, but it can be removed to mount the rig on the outside of a sealed cab.

I JUST RECEIVED 8 OF THOSE SCIPLUS HANDLES SHIPPED FOR $47 total cost!

They look great. I'm building some Omni 10s, and will likely fit them into that project. Thanks for the tip.

To internally mount those, drill out the holes and carefully pull tee nuts into the nylon. Works great.
If it's too loud, you're even older than me! Like me.
