How I transport my DL
gerenm63:
Here's mine:
First the mixer, power supplies, and a 30-pin-to-Lightning adapter go into one of those silver padded cases (that's had extra padding added):
The another piece of padding, and the router, ethernet cable, and power cable go in:
Finally, it, and all the rest of the PA, go into the back of a Hyundia Elantra Touring (i30, for those on the Eastern side of the pond):
There's still room for my keyboard rig, if the gig were for my own band. I don't have a sub loaded in, but I could probably fit one. For tonight's gig, the bass player's bringing the sub. As you see it, there are two main PA cabinets, four monitor wedges, mic and speaker stands, two cases of mics, a big box-load of cables, amp rack, the DL, a smaller case with iPads, my heavy-duty power distribution, and ... a spare Mackie CFX20 mixer.
Yeah, all of that is stuffed into that little car with room enough left for two keyboards, a keyboard stand, and my effects pedal board. Plus, there's still room for a passenger!

Eh Up Geren, you're stealing my thunder here lad
That's a 2006 VW Golf Diesel hatchback (a VW Rabbit on your side of the pond... WTF were they thinking of ::)) The rig is EV sBa750 sub, 2 x QSC K12s 3 x Yamaha DXR10s, Mackie DL1608, enough mics, cables, stands etc to do a 5 piece band and (very) basic lights. Still room for a couple of acoustic guitars and a passenger or I can take a couple of extra monitor boxes and more lights.....

I finally got some pictures of mine. I like mine all in one carrier including the snake and extension cable. Plus I want it small with nearly zero foot print. I am using the Gator bag I had originally bought for my Presonus 16.0.2 may it RIP with it's new owner.

After looking around a bit and not wanting to spend $100-$150 for a hard case, I decided to make my own.
I used a vintage suitcase - one of many I've had for years for carrying cables, pedalboards and such. I removed the lining from it and replaced it with some packing foam that some servers came shipped in. I used a bandsaw and box knife to cut the foam as nice and straight as I could. Used hot melt glue to mount the foam.
There's space underneath for airport router, 2 power supplies and cables. Works well, and was cheap.

Nice but it still has to be setup right? Mine is all ready to go right down to the snake and the bag is under $100.
