4 X 12 cabinet and casters

I have a 4 X12 cabinet but I don't have casters on it. I have been resistant to install casters because I have been told that sometimes the "rattling" of the casters can be heard when the volume is turned up. Right now I have rubber feet on the bottom. Obviously it would make moving the damn thing easier. I loaded it with 4 Hellatones and it is HEAVY! Any suggestions?

Here's my suggestion: get the kind of casters you can pull out. They're kind of a pain when you roll across gaps, sometimes, but if the floor or ground your cab is on isn't level and you can hear the casters rattling, you can take them out and set the thing on its feet on the floor.

It's real nice to be able to roll a cab around and not have to carry it everywhere...

Here's another idea - build or buy a furniture dolly. That way you can leave the cabinet alone, the castors don't rattle and you can move other stuff with it too.

Yeah, that's an even better idea!

I was also wondering about how tone with casters vs. rubber feet. Can I expect much of a difference?

I put some Ernie Ball casters on mine and the sound is less woofy than when it was on the floor.
