How to install the GAS E3010 amp rack (warning: LOTS of pictures)

[E30DriftMissile]

hey luke im trying to order the 10'lukebox for the e30 and i dunno which "order method to choose" on your sig it says 200 shipped so i dun think there wil be an issue shipping to 07306. please inbox me with the process so i dont mess it up.

That is what I was thinking too Luke... if you were getting any, these could almost act as a brace themselves. Worst case is the box gets squeezed a little.

i see....but im putting down about 250whp im pretty sure im getting so chassis flex if i remove the brace, you think it will deform the box in any way? if so i guess ill just have to cheeel off the gas and just cruise around :wgaf:

You can park a truck on our boxes...whatever chassis flex you have will be no problem for the box.

Unless your car is 90% rust, you shouldn't have any significant chassis flex in the rear. Rear strut braces are just eye candy, for the most part. There's no way there would be enough chassis flex to hurt the box.

There is no way to make Luke's box fit with a strut brace. The best thing about his box is that it maximizes usable space. You practically have to force it into position.

interested in doing this myself but if i have a rear strut brace in the trunk im almost sure this will get in the way right? is there any finagling around it or do i have to remove it?

Thanks Luke. I'm re-doing some things, and it would be nice to have the box cleaned up a bit. I'll be in touch after a while.

Yeah, our "site" is an absolute joke. We will get it in shape soon, I swear!

The rack is $200 plus shipping, but that includes the fans, the window and the LED strip.

The internal dimensions are 31.5" wide X 10" tall, with a depth of 3.375", but in the actual window space you can squeeze something a little taller.

This new design of amp rack requires you to have a fully upholstered box (or at least the back panel must be covered) and we HIGHLY recommend the box in black, so the inside of the rack should be black as well.

If you already have a partially upholstered box, we will gladly ship you a chunk of carpet big enough to cover the back because we want your trunk to look awesome too.

Luke, what are the dimensions inside of the amp rack (usable space)? And I couldn't find a price on your site, sorry if I missed it but how much is it?

Dadofour, nice write up, thanks!

[German Audio Specialties]

Awesome! I can't believe I missed that whole post...stupid internet. Oh well, we moved, now all is fine...and the pictures are great!

Just how did you get those pics to come out so well?

Good to hear you are so happy with the setup. Like I said initially, this is the best money you can spend on a stereo for your car, period. There is nothing better anywhere, for any car, for any price. This is absolutely the best...but I might be just a bit biased.

Thanks again, buddy!

ah ok i didn't realize you weren't using the stock premium speakers.

The original owner upgraded the speakers to MB Quartz up front and Boston Acoustics in the rear. I left those in place and wanted to see what they sounded like before upgrading them. They are fine for now. System sounds great.

This is awesome! It looks amazingly clean! I know where to go when its time to get my sound system all setup!

Those are the cross overs for the rear component speakers. There are also crossovers for the front, but they were already located in the dash so I left them.



I love the setup. The amp has gobs of clean crisp power.

How do you like that amp? I have the same one going into my vert.
