[QUOTE="Zeus Castrol, post: 213027, member: 13548"] Hey guys, I recently bought a Yamaha DXS18 Subwoofer and decided to pair it with castors (casters if you're in the US). The official SPW-1 castors are a crazy rip-off price of £100 a set. So I went for aftermarket units. This sent me on a wild goose chase looking for the exact measurements I need. I looked through all the first few website results on google for castors and none of them had them. Eventually found a couple of options I want to share on here, to save others the hours of work it took to find them. Amazon has some, but they never put the bolt hole spacing in the title, and so you end up trawling through page after page of castors looking for that specific information. The plate size they list doesn't give any indication of the bolt spacing either. I also cannot find any swivel and/or locking castors that also correspond with the bolt hole centres, so all of these are fixed castors without breaks, just like the official SPW-1 units are. Also for the record, the weight of the sub is 50kg. The Yamaha SPW-1 castors are 75mm, and that's the size I went for below (i.e. the polyurethane ones). For those in doubt, the bolt hole centres you need the castor plate to line up with are 81mm x 40mm. I'd imagine 80mm x 40mm will also work.

Would be useful when on the roadside and ramps etc. All in all you can pay 1/5 the price of the Yamaha units and still get a sound result. Hope that helps someone! [/QUOTE]
