Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Heat and Humidity on Transport

I live in south Florida. Should I be concerned this time of year the temperature can get over 120 degrees and the humidity 90% in the back of a truck while the speakers are in transit?

Hi PaulHa,

No, don't worry. The MDF construction and vinyl-wrap finish is pretty resistant to extremes of temperature and humidity, and the drivers themselves are impervious to these influences.

I'd let the speakers come down to room temperature before firing them up as a precaution.

Regards,

well, the trip from the canada warehouse to the airport will be nice and cool, no probs... then flight from canada to memphis will be in pressurized fuselage at 33,000 feet, no probs. then transfer from plane to air conditioned loading and docking warehouse(i toured it once), no probs. then flight from memphis to florida, again at around 25,000 feet, no probs. then off loaded into your local FED-EX warehouse(which is probably air condtioned), no probs. then in the truck, and off to your house for delivery.. so roughly, they might spend 4-8 hours in the back of the truck tops. they are double boxed for protection, and are wrapped in plastic. there is a pattern here, NO PROBS..

order with confidence. and if you have a true concern about it, you can contact FED-EX and have then hold the speakers at the local warehouse for you to go pick-up. that way, they spend no time in anyones truck, but your own!!
