Question Question regarding Subthump's AMP rack and Stealth Box install!

ok guys, I've been battling the install for a while and I can't get the Stealth box to slide all the way in... I'm upto the point where I just wanna hammer it in

Any tips ? Nothing on their website regarding this...

Also, how do I secure the AMP Rack so it doesn't fall off... ? I accidently trashed the install guide sticker that was attached to the back of it ... <-- at myself!!

Please help!

About the stealth box, as you're standing on the driver side of the car, facing towards the spare tire area, my box's upper left hand corner (relative to position stated) will touch the fender. That's as far as it goes. Once the carpeting is in place, it takes some effort to reach this position.

Here's a pic or two

No hammers were used. Before installing the sub, and when I had all the rear carpeting out, I dry fitted the box to see how far/where it goes. With the carpet in place, I had a good idea of how far to keep wedging it. The blue wire in the pic is left over 4 gauge -- used to take up some slack between the hatch speaker panel and the sub.

I had no problem getting the speaker box to fit in pretty tight. That rack is a ***** though. I followed the install instructions but they're not adequate. Mine's just sitting back there right now until I breakdown and have someone install it for me.
