Get something like this, or this, and find a friend.
I do have a couple of good friends, unfortunately all of them with extremely bad backs! Also I used to have one of those strappy thingies... bought in in Germany once I was visiting the country. What I learned about them was that they do not make the item any "lighter", of course they do redistribute the wight so the sholders carry more, but they also makes it very difficult to balance the object correctly. They're useful moving heavy objects around horizontally, but carrying upstairs becomes a whole another matter...

My theater is on the second floor. I have about 13 steps with an elbow turn. When Mark installed my sub he just flipped the box upstairs. It was no problem for him and the sub was fine. I don't know how many stairs you have but you might just want to try that. And from what I am told, the packing is even better now then it was when I got my sub.

I have 14 steps and the turn at the middle is quite wide so as long as the packeting can take being flipped over I guess I'll be fine then.
Thank you very much for the hint!
