The eisiest thing to do with a kaboom strap to make it much much easier to carry is disconnect the strap on the left hand side wrap it wround the side bar on the left hand side then reconnect the strap.... I did it for years and had no issues..... and it makes the kaboom MUCH MUCH easier to carry.... hope this helps .... also you will need to have the strap on her shortest settings for length... when this is done Carrying a kaboom is just like carrying any other portable stereo cheerz
