8" Lukebox setup questions

[StereoInstaller1]

FYI, a Rockford Fosgate P2D4-8 will not fit an 8" Lukebox. The overall outer diameter of the sub turns out to be 8.72", to big for the 8.5" cutout.

Even without the ring? Like I said in our earlier conversation, I was worried about that. Let me see what I can do here.

I'm going to use 2 8" JLW3v3 in the box, but the owner before me or before him put in RF Fanatic components in the front and MTX 5323 in the rear. They are ok, but concerned about their age.

Dude...power that stuff up, no sense replacing what might be terrific!

Yes, lots of experience too on what fits or not.

Are you planning on one of our subwoofers? If so, you have many choices on what to do about your speakers. If no sub, I highly recommend you use stock Premium speakers, they have the most bass of any 5.25" ever made.

Found it cool, this shouldn't be too hard. Any other speaker recommendations on the rest of the system????

you can run a wire over to the antena mount and there are already holes near where the battery should be that work as well. just remove the paint and bolt mounts onto to those.

I suggest you mount a 4 channel amp to the car. Then install quick disconnects on the sub box. That way you can simply unplug it during track days. I'm sure you won't notice much weight difference if a small 4ch amp is left in the car.

Use two channels to two front speakers. Bridge rear channels to a single 8 inch woofer.

You could mount the amp on the back of the Luke box, then use quick disconnects at the battery. This is what i did for my e36. I built a homemade sub/amp enclosure that fit in the spare tire well. Cables then ran to quick disconnect terminal i made that was part of the battery cover. That way the weight of your sub and amp can be removed for the track.

Not sure how you would build an interface for an ipod to go to your speakers. If that was the case, you might as well get a nice set of computer speaker and built an enclosure for them. All you would need is an inverter/adapter for your cigerate lighter to power the computer speakers (think sony, Bose etc). This would negate the need for an amp etc itf you wanted a direct link to your ipod to speakers.

If you wanted a to use an actual deck, you could easily build one behind the ebrake if you wanted.

Anybody think this sub would fit?

I ended up going with the Planet Audio 1800.5 amp per Luke's recommendation.
