What is in your "Luke box"...

[StereoInstaller1]

until you fry that shitty amp or blow your voice coil. lightning audio makes me sad inside.

Only the yellow Lightning amps suck. the blue or black ones generally kick ass. They made one of my all time favorite subs, too.

Don't forget, they are the same as Fosgate.

Everything with the Lightning logo i've come across has been absolute shit. Maybe nobody around here carries their decent stuff. I need to get a better sub box for my car, and replace my blown Type R so i can get rid of the shitty 8 i'm rolling now. I miss feeling my bass on the freeway, i can barely feel it at a dead stop now. :(

Hmmmm...box deal is closing quickly...

i was being sarcastic... i know it sucks! but sounds good for the $200 i paid for both amp, sub and crappy scoche wiring.

is it bad that i cant remember? Im pretty sure it is titanium powered with some fancy defunct cross-over doohickey and I *think* an exile sub. Sadly my long winded subframe problem and rear end install put the box in storage. Guess I should get on that.

Dunno, heck I can't remember if I have the MKi or MKii box. I think I had a 10" in the MKi and then upgraded to MKii with a 12"

Hell I don't know, just ask luke and he'll tell ya.

[StereoInstaller1]

Nope, Josh, you are on the V1.

We just might have to change that, but then you won't be tri-amped.

Yeah, Exile "Shift" DVC 12 on a Titanium 500.1, Audiocontrol EQ-X and a 100.4 running XP5s up front.

Great sounding car...remember that, Josh?

FYI - The IDQ10v3 is 11" across and does not fit.

Luke, do you have any suggestions for making this work, or should I just return it and get a 10w3 like everyone else?

[StereoInstaller1]

Oh son of a bitch...they switched over to the same as the IDMax...BASTARDS!

Yeah, either that or get a cheap woofer, rock it until it craps out, sell your box and get one of the special custom IDMax boxes that will come out later this year.

Is the normal ID10 sub have this problem?

If I'm going to run an IDMax box, I'm going to run an IDMax in it. :)

Does the IDQ10v2 drop into the box? I may want to switch to that if it's easy. Edit: Ah, I see. 10.25" across for the V2. Oh well. And to think all of this would have worked easily if I had just cheaped out in the first place. :)

[StereoInstaller1]

Is the normal ID10 sub have this problem?

Nope. Not at all, in fact, no depth issues, works sealed or vented, blah blah.

Only their top dollar woofers have these issues.

[NC325iC]

You don't have the done either?

What the hell!

That is gonna kick ass. HX2 are the shit anyway, especially in a large ported box. Get that sumbich done!

its in the box and powered, just not by that amp yet, and a side note, to fit it in the box i had to rotate it 90 degrees, the wiring connectors were hitting the bottom of the box, theres maybe a couple mill of clearance btw the mag and the bottom of the box.

So... Just to resurrect this thread with an update, I ended up going with a Sundown SD-1 that I got a very good deal on.

I freaking love this box. It would be wonderful if there were something similar for the E46, but, unfortunately, the folding rear seats mean that it's not going to happen. (I won't give that up.) The battery tray box sounds decent, but loses a lot to vibrating the trunk.

[StereoInstaller1]

Holy crap! I have never heard of this "Sundown" audio guy, but his amps are the exact same thing as my Titanium Power, but a little over twice the price!

In my car I have a Boston DVC 12 of the rear of an HCCA surf board.
I just did a set up for a customer, an old school soundstream SPL DVC 10 off the rear of a Aura 4ch 150RMS per ch. It sounds great.
