The Real Kevin/Subtilis Audio/Hand Built Enclosures/ Audioimpactxx

[Mike465 10+ year member]

Ok, I know everyone is tired of seeing threads about Kevin/Subtils Audio/Hand Built Enclosures/audioimpactxx but every day I have people email and PM me info on who he really is..........

Here is what I uncovered.

Kevin recently made a video that linked all the builds me posted in his portfolio to his builder proving that they were in fact done in the same shop.

Shortly after this was posted more information came out on other screen names Kevin used to go under.

We found that Kevin used to go under the screen name Lambo911.

Well as some of you may or may not know he posted a for sale thread for making custom boxes for very cheap. This was post just over a year ago

http://www.caraudio.com/forum/car-audio-classifieds/427504-$75-flat-fee-sealed-enclosures.html

The very first picture he shows a box and claims he built it. If you read through the thread he shows some of his real work and it looks nowhere near the quality of the box that was posted. He was called out for claiming others work as his own and he was banned for scamming a guy over a box. See page 7-9.

Kevin admitted to Lambo911 being him.......

Post number 112

I had a few other people that sent me some info on other screen names he has gone by.

One SSA Audio and other gaming forums and a local forum in FL he went under the same name of kwschs.

Here is a box build he did not even a year ago on SSA

Now when I talked to Kevin in PM's I was trying to find out how long his builder has been working for him who he claims has 25+ years of experience. I was doing this because at the time I was looking into A Lexus install that he claimed his builder did when he was in California. Kevin responded back that he employed two builders. One for 4 years and the other for over a year. So I asked him again how long the builder who did all the cars in his portfolio has been working for him. He responded back a little over a year.

When did your builder mover to Florida and start working for you?

One for about a year and one for around 4 years now, but was not always perma until recently. Anyone claiming to have work done by us and stealing pictures better be able to validate themselves if you're trying to prove a point.

Now Kevin as also claimed to have an employee that takes care of all his EBay listings. Kevin was busted by Thumper (Pound that Sound) for posting one of his boxes and claiming it to be his. Kevin responded by saying that he was sorry and his employee that runs his EBay adds posted all the pictures.

A few days later I found some of his other EBay adds that were pictures of prefab boxes by Audio Enhancers and he was claiming that he built them in his add. I posted this up and Kevin immediately changed the auction add and close the thread.

I started a new thread with a screen shots of the EBay add before he changed it.

He replied back once again that his employee posted the wrong pictures.

I looked a little more into his others screen names he uses and came across a local Florida forum where he said that he was 17 years old. Now this was posted a little over a year ago.

This is the same Kevin because the email address is the same as what he lists in his EBay auctions.

At this point nothing added up that he said. He is an 18 year old kid so if he has two employees and one has been working with him for over 4 years then he started his audio shop when he was 14.

Before I found this info out I had talked to Kevin in a few PM's and I asked him what the name of his shop was and he responded back that he was not an official shop so they did not have a name.

You have this big chip on your shoulder claiming that he is not of your quality work when he has been installing for such a long time. I really thought you're work was great, and that you were a stand up guy, yet you bring these false accusations against me for no reason what so ever. I have already explained the pictures and still stand behind them which seems to be your main issue with my company. Am I mistaken? I want to get this cleared up since you seem to be so involved with the situation...

I am a great guy but when you sit here and lie to me that pisses me off. I keep re reading all of your posts and find more and more stuff that you have lied about.

What is the name of your shop?

Mostly an internet operation, not an official shop for day to day builds. Just custom work and the box building services. What have I lied about? I am surprised you are so "pissed" off as I have no negative customer feedback and deal with several manufacturers on these forums who will all back me 110%. One guy tried disowning me and I guess are your competitor at arms you want to have a reason to hate me.

After searching for local audio shops in Palm Harbor I came across a shop named Auto Audio and it is located 6 miles from his return address for Subtilis audio. I called the shop and talked to the owner Mike and he said he did not know who Kevin or Subtilis Audio was. I found their website and I found every picture that Kevin posted under his portfolio.

HAHA, just wanted everyone to see the facts.

So what do you have to say about this Kevin?

 

[audioimpactxx]

The guy who built my boxes is an installer at that shop, which is only 5 miles away from the home address I gave you. You really have way to much time on your hands, I have not lied about anything. If you need me to screenshot and post the 10+ different times I have told you that they are HIS Pictures I will do so again. He gave them too me to post, end of story. You are trying to make a bad name for my company when I have stolen none of your business, yet I keep satisfying new customers everyday and have ZERO negative feedback on any of these forums for boxes, retail, etc.

Good job Mike, you have proven nothing, other then that my builder works at that shop, which I don't deny. Between the two guys that built them they have over 25+ years installing, building etc, so there is that answer right there. I run retail, so to have a woodshop at my actual location would be a bad business move. You have way to much time on your hands to try and slander my name like this.

I was keeping this to PM's with you pal, but if you continue to slander my name, we will go from there. You seem like a smart guy, and you should realize that slander even over the internet is ILLEGAL "A false and malicious statement or report about someone."

Now because all of the information you have posted is misleading into making a bad name for my company which I have impeccable feedback of, that is slander.

It's not sander when it's true man.

You are an 18 year old kid and you do not work or own that shop nor do you employee two builders or someone to post your ebay adds.

So come out and tell the truth. You have been busted for who you really are.

 

[LazyRider 10+ year member]

I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here. That shop stole Kevins work and is claiming it as their own.

No one is lieing, if you read what I just posted. The box builders are contracted, and builder per box. I have said all along that they were my builders pictures and he supplied them, so you are getting nowhere.

I have posted time and time again that yes they were your builder and if you read the first few lines of my statement you will see that. Contracted by who you because you told me in PMs that you employed them both and the PM's are posted up top if you want to lie about that as well.

You do not own nor employee any of these people.

These guys are proving nothing. And I agree with you and Bumpin'. All of my customer's know I am legit and run a legit company, which is why this is annoying me so much. When someone make's it their goal to attack me this much I get offended.

 

[Mike465 10+ year member]

So what is the name of your shop Kevin?

 

[audioimpactxx]

I do employee them by paying them to work for me to build boxes. You really think anyone on this forum cares whether I pay them hourly or by the box? That is really all you are trying to state here at this point.
