I had to put 2 handles on it.
It was just ridiculous trying to lift it onehanded.

I did know someone about 20 years ago who would take his twin in one hand and his bandmate's twin in the other and lift them both together into the back of a Ford Transit.

Seems its harder - especially as you get older - to lift these amps in and out of a car boot - lifting into a van is much easier - no lip to lift over! :cry:

The heavier the amp, the more expensive the shipping, which in turn is factored into the wholesale cost, then ultimately the retail price to the customer - who subsequently runs the risk of rupturing himself trying to lift the blessed thing... the lengths we go to trying to achieve that sound!
