SETUP: The MRAs come in wooden crates and weigh in at 683 pounds each not counting the crates. They are removed by unscrewing the top of the crate then unscrewing one side to allow easy removal of the upper section of the crate. The monoblocks sit on sturdy plastic like foam which rest on the heavy duty skid. You can move the MRAs by putting a sturdy four wheel dolly under the skid and rolling the skid to wherever you need the amp; however, it was NOT recommend using a floor lift on just the amps as you can bend the heat fin covers. It takes six strong men to life the MRA from the skid (one on each corner and one on each side) and be prepared for the operation to be difficult. One would assume with the men only having to lift approximately 115 pounds each the operations would be simple; however, the weight distribution combined with different height and strength people makes the task awkward and difficult. You want to ensure to have a sturdy and smooth base to sit the amps on and you do not want to put them directly onto carpet (air circulates upward from under the amps and they would not be able to cool properly when they sank into the carpet). My MRA sit on granite stands (3cm thick) so they do not rest directly on the carpet. The amps are really meant to be professionally set up, which is evident by the very minimalistic owner’s manual.
