I love the "I think your product is great, BUT..." comments, they never cease to amaze me...

My threaded inserts and bolts finally arrived after being delayed by Mother Nature (or Al Gore LOL!!!)... I'm still waiting on my butyl sealant rope to get here but I went ahead and got these installed... I love the flexibility of the threaded inserts (great recommendation @meade916) so I can take them out whenever I need to...

So when you say use foam around the inside edge, is this referring to in-between the terminal and box? Or once installed seal from inside the box? I'm waiting on my threaded inserts to show up and then I'll be able to install it. Thanks

First of all much respect for you, to you and what you've done for the industry... I noticed in the video that you didn't drill the holes for the sub all the way through for the threaded inserts, but for the plexiglass insert you did... Is there a specific reasoning behind that?? Also, do you use a particular brand or just any soft wood threaded insert?? Thanks!!

It was not on the door but the same concept. It's in the hatch area, there's about a 3-4" gap between the internal framing and the outer skin. I bought some "Great Stuff" but haven't tried it out yet.

I do have another question, I've begun installing the Damplifier Pro and now I'm wondering how you sound deaden between the outer skin and inner metal framing. Also, what's the best stuff for doing this task?

Thanks for the acetone recommendation. It worked great.

Sorry if this is a repeat question, I couldn't find anything. I plan on beginning to install my Damp Pro tomorrow. That being said, what should I use to clean and prep the surface really well. I got some 3M adhesive remover to get the old residue off. Should I degrease (ie Purple Power) it? It's a 92 so it's pretty nasty under the carpet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm glad there's still some Integrity out there. Luckily, I'm not against small shops and if I found one that I could trust I'd be more than happy to "become a sponsor" LOL. I actually just found a small shop here in Cincinnati and he said he's thinking about carrying Sundown. I told him I'd help him put in his first order LOL. If I didn't think it was a GREAT product, I wouldn't have gone through ANY of this.

Any shop that works hard to actually MOVE our product and keeps a fair amount in stock to take advantage of discounted / free shipping will make PLENTY of margin. Not to mention the new 2014 tiered pricing which offers incentives to dealers who are able to sell more volume. Obviously you can't sit one unit on the shelf, have people walk in, point at it and get 100% mark-up. It just too bad that most of the shops that are willing to do the work, are online...

I'm not sure what MAP is on the Sundown 1500d v3 but I got mine for $445 during woofersetc's Black Friday sale. Then during the sale they had the SA-12 D4 for $155, I think...I was happy. I ordered it and it was on my doorstep in two days and it was delivered on Saturday.

I totally understand the overhead of running a business. I just didn't appreciate being lied to and all in the presence of my lady, she's like me when it comes to money. Stood in cust srvice at Target for $1 one time LOL

they have to make money sure, but why lie to him to do it? Was it the shop owner or the employee that said they would price match? Maybe the employee lied to get you there and then asked the owner after the fact. Kinda what it sounds like. If it was me running the shop, I would've ate the $22 and then dealt with the employee accordingly. I'd rather go out of business being honest than being dishonest with people. As Much as I like karma, I hate when that b!tch comes to visit.

He was selling them for $250 before I got online and then contacted Sundown. @$220 he'd lose $20/sub but potentially gain a loyal customer. Cuz it's not like I only have one car and I want them all to sound good LOL

Clearly, if they had been honest they would've got a repeat customer and I would've done the 80 miles with no problem. But it's shops like my example that mess it up for the good spots that do still exist, like the one you mention. OAN, unlike most I'm not doing this for comp, I just want good stuff for my install.
