hi guys...(sorry if i posted this in the wrong place i just didnt know where to put it) ive sold my car speakers with an amp and capacitor to a guy in adelaide on here.. my missus is flying down at the end of the week so i figured no harm in just sending them down with her. than just checked the banned list for items on a plane it states Magnets (somee large loudspeakers and other laboratory equipment) are not allowed i was just wondering if anyone has come across this and will i be able to take any of this onto the plane..
if it helps these are the product codes..
6x9s: F19-F2
Capacitor: ACP2000
Amp: SPA2000m.
any help would be nice?
Cheers, Mick.
Not sure how you'd go with a capacitor - they're full of liquidy stuff. The amp should be fine.
I think there's a number you can call for questions like that ... or call qantas
i cant find any numbers to ring and when i called qantas they told me im speaking to the wrong people but couldnt give me a number to call... ####ing morons... just wondering if you guys think it will be ok in the checked in bags?
The Cap and Amp will be no problems. Try calling the Qantas head office on (02) 9691 3636 if speakers are allowed.
Magnets can stuff up the systems in an aircraft but something like your 6x9's I don't think would pose a problem in your check in bags

I would say check-in luggage would be OK. But if Qantas can't give you a straight answer, than try ringing another airline, they all have basically the same rules.

I wouldnt put them in your checked in bags - they will come out in pieces unless you have a hard shelled suitcase or don't ask them to put a fragile tag on it.
I have never had any problems with Qantas when I ring them for enquiries.
I reckon you'll be fine now that i think of it, Electronics is freighted all around the world every day. If you want to be sure call CASA.
Further information

considering the passenger area of the plane has speakers everywhere, you would assume they could handle a couple of 6x9s haha
Need some parts for my VH 253:
Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
PM with any info.
yeah i spoke to qantas they said there is no problem in the plane just getting through security will be an issue so check in bags only.
CASA was no help whatsoever
