Summer "Luke Box" Build

[inwoo]

Luke,

Just got my box installed.. but a few questions... i'm sure these have been answered before...

1) how do you "secure" your box in the back of the e30, such that it wont move around?

2) how much foam should i take out of my leather non ski-pass seat?

[Pantless Spency]

Buy dees boxes or else

Damnit Luke! I rarely ever listen to the radio and now I think I am going to have to budget some money for one of these for my build.

Will be picking this up as soon as i get an e30.

I was gonna bring it down tomorrow anyway...

[Van Westervelt]

Well fuck me (not literally). I guess I just got reschooled. lol I recall very little gain, didnt know it was that small. Put me down for that 10 sealed you have good sir.

[StereoInstaller1]

Yes, I can do 2 woofers, but since it is only a 3db gain with all else being equal, but takes twice the airspace and twice the weight and (far more importantly) does not sound as good, I will never do it as a production item.

Single woofers have only 1 time signature and cannot suffer from "time smear". They cannot have specific frequency phase cancellations, either. Sure seems like an assload of space and weight to get 3db..no thanks.

Single woofers only for me.

But, if you want a custom box built, I will do pretty much whatever you want...for a price.

What about a dual 10 sealed box? lol

[StereoInstaller1]

Cant wait to see how the 8" box turns out! The more detail I hear about it, the more intrigued I am...I love the idea of having a "quick release" system. Do you happen to have a price yet on these? I am local (Seattle) so I wont need to have it shipped...

Wait a minute here...you used your first post on R3V to make mention of my silly crap?

I am honored, my good man, honored.

No clue on final price yet, but should not be much more expensive than the 10" box.

I am thinking I want to make them as light as possible, so considering using 1/2" MDF with extra bracing...but SQ matters to me, this thing has to sound not just good but terrific, because I am a snob like that.

1 left of this batch, still have some E34 12" boxes though.

I was hoping to have the E30 8" boxes at least prototyped, but the wreck took more time out of my week than anticipated...so next week they will get built and shown.

How's all the boxes coming? i have a sub just begging to be put into your luke box.. :)

I want one, but shipping to Norway is probably going to kill me, right?

yeah, especially since you need to fly me over there too. I will just carry it as baggage...sorry, man, I have no clue at all.

I suppose I could check rates, right? Any idea who would be a good carrier?

I do like the idea of a little Norwegian vacation though...

Thanks for all the support, guys. You have no idea what all of this means to me.

Bummer about the status, Spency. Soon though, right?

Hey guys, this batch is almost sold out. I have 1 left...but if demand continues I will make more.

I have to build a car as soon as I am done with the woodwork, so now is the time, GET ON IT!
