Sub Thump amp rack and box installed... Not so good Well they make unique and okay pieces but I give the bad with the good and well... if you have other options you may want to go that route! We couldn't get the Sub Thump box in even after sanding it down some. Amp rack didn't fit like it should either. I left three messages for them and still haven't gotten a return call. My amp rack had a broken corner (they pack it without any packing in form fitting cardboard). One of the ears broke and back then they said just fix it. More later on this.

I already had the box before I discovered Kee. I couldn't believe the rack arrived broken and he wanted me to put mending plates on it. I did but only because I really needed to get it in today. The box not fitting is another story! I now have one of the metal pieces where the plastic attaches to that side will need welded on. I hope at SOME POINT they return my call so I can tell them. Until then I need to cool down since it is the Holiday

I have a subthump box and it did take a bit of effort but it fits in the spot. My amp rack had a small corner broken off as well, it was no big deal to me though. It's not like I was planning on putting anything in that corner. My amp rack fit just fine. You sure you trying to mount this stuff properly?

I can't excuse the rack having a broken corner. I have shipped a ton of stuff over the years (and I am just a person) and always use a box that will allow plenty of packing. They shipped it in basically a cardboard skin with zero packing. I phoned them when I got it saw it was broke and told them their shipping methods need some attention in a big way.
The box really can only go in one way. In order to do so it has to sit back enough to clear the plastic panel and not be too high so the plastic fits down. Mine was more a problem of the second part. It was just too high and still is even after sanding with a belt. I have one of the metal attaching tabs that will now need welded on because of it and the fit still isn't there. It's in but not what I would call right.

I understand the shipping gripe. It's no different than any other major company. Newegg comes to mind, if anyone has bought a PC case, they know that it is shipped out in it's original box. It has nothing but 2 pieces of foam protecting all eight corners. I have received at least 15 cases in the past 100 that has been damaged or bent in some way. Either way sorry it didn't work out for ya, the only gripe I have with mine is that I need to remove it to get the tail light bulbs replaced.

I have the subthump box in my car. check my cardomain for pics if you want to look. It fits in there fine when the hatch cover is on but when its off it has a gap because my plastic pops out. but other than that it fits great. Then came the moving around problem. i had my ttops off one day just cruising and heard a horrible vibration. the sub box moved out and was hitting the ttops. i went straight to the store and bought some L brackets painted them black and screwed the box in. Still looks great. fits fine and sounds great. AS FOR the KEE guy, not a fan. I called and pmed him for a box and he took forever. Sub thump did me good.

I'm very leery of ordering anything online anymore.. I ordered a key fob almost 2 months ago from originalkeyless.com I still don't have it..So I went to the dealer and got one..I need to dispute the charges with my credit card company.. LM performance shipped a diablo sport to me promptly. Worked great.. no problems with them at all..great service!

Here is the broken end where I had to put a mending plate over it with screws and epoxy to hold it in place. They knew exactly what it was when I phoned so it happens often. Well gee.... do something with the packaging! Cost about $4.00 to fix but also some of my time.
