Original Unpacking at Residence in the City:
Part 1
|
The Triolons are shipped in 3 large wooden crates
plus one smaller crate for the tweeters
The tweeter crate is a nice small (approximately: 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft x
2 ft, 70-80 lbs.) crate
containing both tweeters
|
The truck arrives on a nice frosty morning. Yes,
some people do wear shorts in the middle of Winter... after all, it
wasn't that cold.
|
| Two large crates each contain a
Sword.
The crate is too long to fit sideways in the
truck, so it has to be maneuvered sideways while it is being removed
in order to fit it correctly on the lift gate.
|
Maneuvering a Sword crate onto the lift gate.
|
| Each
Sword crate is only about 300-400 lbs, but it is large. |
The Sword crate is being lowered on the lift gate.
|
| |
The Sword create is being maneuvered off the lift
gate.
|
| |
The second Sword create is being oriented so that
it will also be able to fit on the truck's lift gate. |
| The
base units crate is only about 1500 lbs, *gulp*. |
The crate with the two base units is smaller, but
much heavier than the Sword crates.
|
| The crate with the bass units
fits sideways in the truck |
Getting the crate ready to be lowered on the lift
gate
|
| |
Finally, all the crates are off the truck
|
| The crates look large.
Can we open them yet? Can we? Huh? Can we? |
The crates arranged in our two car garage at our
rental house.

Notice the supports holding the Sword firmly into
place.
|
| We had some concern about just
what color of red we were going to get (we ordered the 'standard'
red). But the
red was and has been over the last year truely impressive - a kind
of dark candy apple red. |
A beautiful red.

into place.

fastened to the side of the crate.

|
| The sides of the crate was
removed by removing the screws at the bottom of all four sides and
lifting the sides as one unit up and off the crate bottom.. |

| It became apparent that we were
not going to be able to lug the bass/base units into the house
today. |
