[StereoInstaller1]

I dont think his wife will let him do anything car related anymore. on the flipside he has become an expert at wallpapering and arts and crafts

I suppose his baking skills are now beyond compare?

Luke, I'll be up there for a week in Feb. I'll be in touch.

Thanks for the order, Mr. Blunt.

Please tell me that the system is going to installed by SDBC enterprises. I want him to finally hear one of these things.

Any chance that 10-channel x-over would work for the e39? :)

I'd like to do something in the next few months. Focusing on getting it in top mech condition now.

Yes, virtually all BMWs and Minis will be able to use the crossover. I will hopefully have a network of car stereo shops around the country willing to install them too.

Think how cool it would be to offer a guy with say, an F10 the ability to integrate his stock deck, a modded version of his stock amp, a nice 5 channel amp and a single 10 into his stock system...but that is WAAAAAY in the future.

Every time I had to deal with "one of those goddamn BMWs" in every shop I ever worked at, I wished for something like this. I am talking about literally hundreds of cars, and a major pain in the ass every time. You can use the MBQuart 3 way crossovers, if you can find them, but the BMW mid can't deal with the cutoff frequencies from the 'Quart crossovers...plus then you have a pair of 3 way crossovers and a pair of 2 way crossovers, takes up a lot of room.

There is a small but eager market of X3 owners, especially if you could do something that would go behind either of the rear panels or replace one in a stock looking fashion. Expensive would be ok, fitment, quality and oem appearance would be more important. I have an 06 with the sport package if you'd ever like to poke around and have a look.

Let me know when it is going to head north again, I want to see it!

Late night bump.

Luke, PM me when you start making things for the E46 - I'm looking for a suitable box that doesn't interfere with the spare tire. My buddy tried making one a week or so ago and it was absolutely laughable compared to the LukeBox I have in my E30.

Wow. Good to hear the E30 box works well and sorry about the failure of the E46 box build. I have had LOTS and lots of failures too, it sucks. If your buddy wants some help, have him get hold of me. The German Audio Specialties page on FB is a great place to ask questions and stuff. I know it sounds dumb, but I really do like to help.

As long as you do what I tell you, that is.

So, yeah, I really am gonna have to make a bunch of noise when the E46 hits. Honestly, I think the E46 is the main building block of the future of my company. I have done 3 or 4 custom builds, so I know the car pretty well. We just may have found a "model" to use. I generally keep cars for 3 or 4 weeks to develop the box...but I want to have them at Bimmerfest...I have a TON of work ahead.

Just so you know, the E46 is one of the first cars I will be developing a 10 channel passive crossover network for, so you can simply replace the stock amp with a decent 5 channel feeding a 10" sub and the crossover network and all the stock speakers. I promise, the thing will come alive.

Buuuut these cars being so difficult to build to the standard I want to see, it ain't gonna be "Lukebox" prices.

We will launch it with an amp rack as well, I am hoping to have both ready for Bimmerfest. Like I said, I got my hands full.

Thanks for the kind words.

Luke

E39 boxes?

Just bought 97 528i and the system has no marbles.

Another vote for the e39. My '00 e39 touring would thank you and my wallet will reward you. In fact, many in the e39 touring world would likely reward you.

Also, I have been lurking on the release of your e30 vert sub for years, grin.

[mbc325]

Do you still have more of these available to order? Like to know before I send you my $$$. Thanks!

[StereoInstaller1]

Wow...under an hour? Have any pics of your box? Can you share your solidworks pics?

[Thizzelle]

those look great, looks like the box I built for my M3. My brother in-law does wood work and we made the box in less than an hour after I made the prints on SolidWorks, it was dope. Fast when you have the write equipment lying around plus he use to make his friends sub boxes in high school, he said it was way easier with my prints.
