Hi Jordan, sorry that you had such a frustrating time. You hit on several different points so I'll address them individually.
First, the pods not being on the sub box.
Both Fedex and UPS have maximum package sizes. The assembled size would exceed that limit which would mean we have to ship it on a pallet via freight truck. That would add about $300 to the price. You are already complaing about the price so I doubt you want to pay $300 more for something as simple as installing the pods.
Next you are complaining about your work environment. Thats not something that I can control. Even if the pods were installed, you would be looking at about 1-2 hours to install the seat lift, wire and install subs so you are going be in whatever your work environment is for some time.
You are also complaining about it not fitting. If you follow the instructions it WILL fit. There are over a hundred 5 star reviews from people that have had no issues at all.
I tell people all the time that DIY is not for everyone. Sometimes its best to spend a little extra and get a qualified stereo shop to do your install.
There is a troubleshooting guide included with the instructions. Please read that as it covers most common issues. Then if that doesn't cover it, you can call the number on the instruction sheet during business hours 'this review is the first we have heard from you'
