As of now I have the to electronic boxes filled with small bags of sand as a temporary cheap solution but I cant decide weather I should fill the boxes with mineral oil, a type of buck lead or leave them empty and fight the air with heavy skids this last option I'm not to keen on doing.

what do you think is the best option ?
