    Luke box install

    Sorry I didn't take more pictures but I was busy in the short time I had to get it done. Still gotta make the cover. Need to get some masonite.

    Don't laugh at my 39 dollar Coustic Sub. The box is so good I thought I'd try one of the cheapest around.

      I'm not laughing since it's the same sub I'm using haha... I've developed a few rattles I have to track down, but it looks good.

      PM me for detailing services in the Longmont / Boulder Area in Colorado!

            I did it but didn't take any pictures. I'll be at V@V so you can see it there.

            Basiclly Luke gives you a templete and some carpet that closely matches the trunk carpet. You cut a piece of Masonite from the templete and then glue the carpet to it. I just trimmed the top from the excess carpet and just pushed it in place. There is enough tention between the rear deck and the floor to hold it in place. In the end, the trunk looks finished and many people wouldn't notice anything.

              Where do you buy masonite, though? I searched Home Depot and Lowe's websites and all I found were doors and cabinets.

                Ask for "Tempered Hardboard", looks like pegboard without the holes.

                  BTW: anyone know who first called this a "Luke Box"? I mean, think of all the cool audiophile goodies on the market, all the bitchin' marketing...someone calls this engineering marvel a "Luke Box" and it stuck.

                  I swear to fuck, if I do decide to start a home speaker company, this will not happen again.

                    Hmm...Luke house box? Luke House?

                    I just put a Luke house in my house.

                    Yeah. ;)

                        I still wanna see someone do something more imaginative that what I did on James car, or Edris' car...I know you guys are way more capable, way more creative that what I see.

                        I need some good ideas to steal!

                              You want mirrors, motorized amp trays, light shows, built in skateboard ramps and juicing machines, what?

                              You made it look stock. When you set the bar that high, anything else is going to look like an episode of "Pimp my Ride"

                              Mine still isn't in.

                              To make matters worse, I crossed polarity on the front left woofer, so it sounds like @ss and I don't have the time right now to take the whole f@cking driver side f@cking lower Dash assembly with 6 f@cking bolts holding a f@cking shin guard that won't f@cking line up without f@cking with it for an hour when you put it back. Riding around in hell listening to two crappy buzzing rear speakers. Happy hump day. Get off my lawn.
