These are less than 30 pounds empty. The other weight is whatever is inside. Those fit pretty snuggly behind the rear seat, when up. (They are truck boxes, technically truck chests. just ones that would fit behind the rear seat when up.
The "advantage" would be to be able to quickly REMOVE weight for a trip and to take you stuff you generally use daily, while not when you "take off" somewhere. It keeps all your crap together and in one place, rather than scattered everywhere.
Edit:
My original intent was to carry kid-related stuff that remains in the vehicle and also to be able to use it to quickly "unload" said stuff when not needed. That is what I use the smaller one for.
Plus, they add to the "Industrial" part of "Industrial SportsBox," while still being removable for I want to use the "SportsBox" part and zip along a mountain twisty.
(end edit)
Plus, these may be lighter options than some of the speaker boxes I've seen people make. Wood gets heavy QUICK!
Just sharing something I was looking at as one idea/option . . .
