Ok, I know that this business and its owner Luke are fairly popular on this site. However, my dealings with GAS and Luke have been nothing but a big disappointment and anyone thinking of purchasing anything from GAS may want to know what they're getting into.
In March 2012, I saw a post here on R3V for a subwoofer box for an E30 convertible. Mentioned and pictured in the write up for the installation of the box was how good the accompanying amp rack looked with the box. Wanting to have a system that looked as good as it was supposed to sound, I sent a PM to inquire on availability and price. Luke e-mailed me back and we came to a price of $325.00 shipped for both the box and the amp rack. I paid in full, $325.00 as agreed, via Paypal on March 21.
Now I get it that we're talking about a 24 year old car here. I knew it would take some time to get a specialty part like a trunk box built for this vehicle. I never expected anything of quality to be a cash and carry type of deal. I emailed Luke once on April 14 to inquire how things were coming along. He replied that they had just moved and that the box would be on the road in the next day or so.
UPS dropped off a big heavy box on my door step on May 7, and I was ecstatic! Bass for a car that shouldn't have any at all! So I peel off the cardboard and the woofer box looks amazing! Obviously over engineered and fits perfectly, but where's the amp rack that is supposed to look equally gorgeous and make the set up complete?
I email Luke who tells me "They are not shipping yet, we are experiencing technical difficulties." ... umm ok, I thought these would have been built at the same time, but whatever, things happen ... I'll get it soon, right?
May becomes June and June beomes July, no amp rack, no date of when I can expect what I've paid for, no communication unless I initiate it and even then two or three messages are usually ignored. By this time, I've been assured multiple times "it's almost done, it'll be done this week, it'll be done this weekend, tomorrow, etc." Here we are now in OCTOBER ... no amp rack, and my latest FB messages as well as a post here on R3V have no responses. Now, I'm finding there are others that are in the same boat some have been waiting longer than I have, but 6 months is long enough for me. I figure that this will mean that I will NEVER get my amp rack, but I have to "say something" and this post is my way of doing just that.
Thank you for reading.
