The huge 2395 lens' were in custom cabs built with their own wheels and lids, so they packed up as safe as a flight case, jusat about, and since they had old style 24XX drivers, they weighed a ton. The drivers on top of the two-10'2 cabs newer neodymium models that weighed 25 pounds less, each, but were the same 2 drivers acoustically. There are actually two drivers on top of each dual 10 cab. One with miniature version of a 2395 lens on them and the other with just a round adaptor in case a horn died/fried. I showed up early in the morning to unload this stuff using a U-Haul, and no help in the rain. This is where I learned one of the most important roadie lessons one can ever know - No matter how hot it is - Never unload equipment wearing Birkenstocks - Ever! I tore a legiment in my right calf almost toi trhge bottom of the ramp unloading a heavy dual 15 Gauss bottom and then setup the stuff and hobbled around the rest of the day. Others loaded it for me, so I was very glad for that. And really glad they unloaded it into my garage, where it sat for a month while I missed work rolling around my living room in a wheeled office chair. Ahhh, the good old days. I'm old school and really love the big, old, heavy stuff, as generally, speakers never sounded better than those, and the life of neodymium is much shorter than ferrous is, so oldies do not have to be regaussed as often, which can cost a lot in fees and shipping. Then again, most people just toss out the old and go buy new.
The amount of professional bands in northern Maine can be counted on one hand, and no one stuck around there who did not have to. So I would gladly setup my sound system for events if asked. There were 400 employees at the company and all their families at a five-acre park, so it was a large area to cover. The prior events I was using my old Tangent board, but it burned up at the company block party, thus new board was gotten. It is not a Soundcraft studio mixing consul, but it really did well for live and processed feeds mixing. I was quite surprised. OK, nuff rambling . . .
