Do you want a pretty trunk? E3010 amp rack and floor kit

[motors4me]

BTW, am hoping to be able to ship these for about $150, trunk carpet "kit" being a template and enough carpet to do the floor should be about $50...so if you wanted all black trunk you would need to spray all your existing panels with black vinyl paint, grab a 1/2 sheet of 1/4" masonite or MDF and a can of spray glue.

So, lets take a second and figure this out. We have $200ish for the box, $200ish for trunk kit, a couple cans of paint and glue, a $140 5 channel amp and a $34 woofer...world class sound AND looks for well under $750.

No local shop can even come close to that price. I bet they would flip if they saw it, even more if they heard it!

Does the kit include Plexi, lights, and fans? Am I fabbing mounts for the lights and fans or is it all designed into the rack? Also, can I get grey carpet so I dont have to spray bomb my trunk black? thx

Yes yes and yes...all premounted, and holes drilled to run wires through, but the vinyl covers them so you only cut the ones you want to use.

Fans and lights are easily replaceable should they fail, too....plus, there is a prewired relay for the fans.

However, the price did creep up. The rack is $175 plus shipping. My parts cost was just too high, plexi has skyrocketed, and I just don't like the 1/8" stuff, too flexible.

So yeah, roughly $200 and your trunk can look like a million bucks. I am going to be doing one in grey with a stock floor in the next day or three. I bet it photographs better too!

Hey kids, I have 2 more available. I am doing the early version in gray today, so you will see the finished version. Pics to come!

This looks great Luke.

Why are you replacing the OEM floor?

This looks great Luke.

The goal here is a dead sexy trunk. I mean show stopping looks AND performance, just gorgeous...but still room for life. Baby strollers, groceries, luggage, normal life stuff. This does it. Car guys just drool, normal people say "wow, thats cool!"

Mine is in OK shape, but this looks 1000X better. I have done many cars with false floors like this over the years, it transforms the look of the trunk.

Plus, I wanted an all-black trunk in this car. I did not want to attempt a re-dye.

Sorry. I don't get it.

The Lukebox is against the rear seat back, the amplifiers are mounted on a board to the back of the Lukebox, it all looks fabulous, but what is the false floor for?

Are you saying that raising the floor is attractive?

Or are you calling the space behind the rear seat where this equipment is installed a false floor?

[StereoInstaller1]

The floor is 1/4" Masonite covered in carpet, with a cutout for spare tire access. It is not raised at all, it just replaces the carpet. You have to build it yourself, but I supply a template and carpet.

It is an option, as not everyone will want it. Everyone who sees it really likes it though.

Now I understand. Thank you for clarifying.

These look great and if they are built like the Lukebox, they will perform spectacularly!

I'll let you know when I'm ready to install mine.

Do these piggyback on your 10 inch and 8 inch sub box?

OK, gimme a sec man, working on it! Vert took WAY more time than I had planned.

Yes, exactly. This amp rack attaches to the back of a 10" "LukeBox". It fits flawlessly, but does take some skills to install. There are fans in the bottom that blow air over the face of the amps, the top of the rack is open. It is not air conditioned, but I expect no issues even in 100 degree weather.

To make absolutely clear: this is for the 10" LukeBox ONLY. I have found a way to make the same rack fit either early or late, same flawless fit.

BTW: this car was a Premium Sound car. I used the power wire from the factory amp to power the relay that runs the fans. Whenever the amps are on, the fan is on. I could not hear them in the car with the windows closed.

Here is a shot in an early car, using an amp his Dad had laying around and another that was in his GFs car, along with an Infinity Reference 10. This would look 1000X better of the amps matched, or if it were just a big 5 channel.



As you see, this is in the factory "near perfect match" grey color. You can also see the fit is just about flawless. The look is absolutely stellar in person.

I am currently in process of getting a tutorial together. The install is not incredibly diffucult, but each step needs to be handled carefully.

Damn. This thing looks bad ass. Not trying to be all big headed, I am actually surprised how good it looks. This is something you can be proud to show anywhere.

niceee!! my question is what about ppl with the ported rear seat? cuz i just got done mounting all my stuff then realized my piece of wood was too big to fit on either side.... lol

[dogsbark26]

Yeah, I love it Luke!

[StereoInstaller1]

Yeah, I love it Luke!

Thanks! I wish I had better pics. My son took a bunch of pics, we shall see how they turn out.

If anyone is seriously interested, they will be $175 PLUS shipping.

The floor kit will be $50 PLUS shipping.

At this point if you want a shipping estimate, you need to paypal me $1 as purchase of goods. I will email you an exact cost.

Paypal is stereoinstaller1 AT gmail DOT COM.

No paypal, no guess. Make sure your address is correct too. Canada is fine now too, unless stuff changes.

Big (as in 50" wide) stuff is WAY more expensive to ship. I will not guess how much shipping will be, you MUST paypal me.
