Doug: I took shipment of my Hi-Z 4-8 Pro system in October. You can leave the 
delay lines coiled up just like they were shipped (Of course you have to 
separate the long and the short delay cables).
 
As for the new preamps, while the company states that they are water-proof, 
there is the possibility that humid air will condense inside and create water. 
Every beverage transformer box that I have built in this humid Ohio location 
has had corrosion problems from condensed humidity inside the “sealed” boxes. 
Water always finds a way in. So I plan to ventilate them in some fashion and 
protect the amps from the elements with a plastic cover. I’m almost ready to 
mount the amps in this mild January weather. I think the holes in the preamp 
boxes are for possible mounting. If you are curious, you can open one up and 
look inside. You won’t hurt the seal as it is a rubber gasket.
 
73 and good luck,
Dennis W0JX/8
