Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio sub arrived damaged

well its Good Friday and its not starting off so good. i got my 2 12" diamond cm3's today. each were in seperate boxes and then both boxes placed in one big box. one of em is fine. the other the box was ripped the styrofoam dented and there was a big dent in the outer ring that the mounting holes are on(kinda hard to explain). so i e-mailed the website i bought it from. but the big outer box that both boxes were in is kinda banged up too. and there's a sticker on the big box and it says FedEx Relabel and at the bottom it sys (damaged barcode) so im guessing that its a shipping error. so hopefully i'll get the one replaced, but for now im just gonna use one i guess. my friend is building a box today for me sealed with 1.0 cubic feet for each chamber.

can anyone give me some ideas on mounting my amp? i dont think i'll have room for a hanging amp rack and i dont want to mess with fiberglass or false floor building, but theres gotta be another option, my current setup looks really ghetto and i cant even explain how its mounted.

Mount a board to the seat back and hang it there. You could put it on the back of your sub box, but its easier for it all to get stolen that way.

mount it on the back of the box? thats what i did, and it looks nice...and i dont really plan on having my stuff get stolen.

sucks that one got damaged though . my cm3 came in fine. you have to let me know how they sound when its done though, im curious of what other people think of them. plus i love the one i have, and i cant imagine what 2 would sound like

I have mine mounted like that too. Its just that if anyone managed to get in my trunk, they could take the whole thing at once.

if you had it insured DONT THROW AWAY YOUR BOXES!!! the insurance guys will need to see them to prove it was their fault before they will give you any money.

unfortunately, i learned this the hard way when ups bent my mountain bike, bastards

sorry about the bad luck
