Thanks Mark. Searched a bit there and this should be the stuff everyone uses.

To use 4" on all sides/corners of a amp and 2" thick will cost 25$ in raw material.
You would have to use at least 6"+ thick of bubble wrap for the same shock protection.

I was thinking the OP was asking for something like this. I don't see any reason why these couldn't be placed inside the box, strapped or fitted to the cabinet or whatever. I bought a new gas grill about 2 months ago and they used these inside the box. I saved them. There are unlimited good uses for them.

Phil while those corners are great at strengthing a weak box you really want to protect amps from drop impact.
The shipping industry is absolute garbage in care of handling. Box are dropped, tossed, stepped on ect..
