Great way to use speaker stands!

Neat idea to solve the "raise the mains high enough" problem. Not so good for the "not killing a little kid" problem you may end up with. Guessing those are JBL JRX. If so the double 15's are 94 lbs. The sub is 71 lbs. The sub is 24", the speaker stand is probably 44" or so and the top box is another 43". That's over 9 feet! YIKES!

 

This is just one reason I don't care for double 15's. They just don't lend themselves to versatility. You need a stout subwoofer set up to get them high enough when floor stacked plus strapping. And it takes 2 people to do anything. Plus the cheaper ones sound like poo.

Well, you gotta give him points for ingenuity, if nothing else. Although it remains hard to understand why he thought it would have been so bad to put the top speaker on the stand the right way and set it NEXT to the sub. Unless, of course, the pole is too big for the hole. Which, considering it's a JBL, it very well could be.....

If he's using those boxes, he can't be too worried about the sound, so why not just put the boxes on the sub and let the chips fall where they may. Better yet, put the sub on what looks to be the stage, then the boxes on top of the subs - it would almost be the same height as the leaning tower of JBL, but probably subject to two or three million dollars less liability.

Those speakers do not have pole holes at all.

 

Well, there you go. That explains it.

 

Are the straps tight enough to keep the speaker from falling off if bumped into by some idiot drunk? I guess you'd have to have a few and find out for yourself.
