Finally got it together, in, and working! It sounds GREAT! I love having sound below just vocals and having some lowws! I feel like I kept a huge amount of trunk space as well! WIN WIN!

Here is a teaser...

Thanks, Jay! I don't know if you know this or not, but we have expanded way beyond E30 stuff these days. We have a full line of BMW applications, including E39 and E46 boxes, amp rack and hand-made chassis specific passive crossover networks.

We are looking to build a nationwide network of installers to refer customers to and we have a LOT of customers in your area already. All we ask is that you do nice clean work and we would be happy to refer to your shop!

If you haven't seen our crossover networks yet (E34, E39 and E46, E53 and E60 coming very soon) they use the stock speakers and wiring, but will handle an honest 100W RMS X4 and sound shockingly good, as in better than most any component kit in the same car. 400V metalized polypropylene caps, heavy gauge air core inductors, first class stuff throughout:



Thanks again for the kind words, that just always makes my day.

Yessir, we have a full kit for that car, both folding and fixed seats. If you do the amp rack and crossover, it can look like this:



The sound is phenomenal, those same shitty speakers you have now can absolutely kick ass with some decent power. They are very well engineered and great quality, this allows them to use as much as 200 watts X 4 RMS, but 50W X 4 RMS is recommended.


The box itself isn't too expensive either and you can add the other stages later, even if the car is DSP you can still use our subwoofer.

thanks!

So, I want to clean up my trunk and reclaim some space back there. My current setup is sort of a gigantic mess with the line-level converter, active XO and 22" wide 5-ch amp. So now I am thinking of ridding myself of all of those electronics and buying a compact, cheap 5ch amp and just modding/rebuilding the active filters that it comes with, with higher quality stuff. Or just leaving it alone and letting road noise hide any issues lol.

ANYWAY...Luke, I am sort of torn between your 8" and 10" boxes. The 8" one has appeal for space reasons. About how low in frequency can I go with the 8" box (-3dB)? Obviously that depends somewhat on driver selection, so given my previous question, what is the best bang-for-the-buck driver for the 8" box? What is the best no-cost-limit 8" driver for it? I am not after earth-shattering bass, but I'd definitely like to make sure that drums and such are properly heard in music. The low-profile 10" sub I have baffle-mounted now is nice, but it isn't the cleanest bass since it isn't in a box. I assume that an 8" in your box can probably more than keep up with my baffled 10"? (it is this one).

Since all amps these days are the same foreign-made nonsense, this is the compact amp that I am looking at sticking in there.

Would this amp (4.75" x 7.5" footprint) fit on the side of the 8" enclosure) somewhere? That would be PERFECT!

Sorry to sort of hijack your 10" sale thread on the last day!

^^^I don't have much to say other than my 10 inch box seems high quality, fit perfect, sounds good, and isn't "that big" in the trunk. Yes it is wide, and tall, but not deep. It is only ~4.5 inches deep from the "top" of the trunk, and extending straight down.

[yelloe]

I installed my 12" Luke box last night and I can agree too that the build quality exceeded my expectations. And the sound is awesome. Can't wait to finish the beauty board and amp bolt down. I love the size as well....

That is just awesome, so glad to hear you are happy with it. Damn things just put out, don't they? I hear people say "I thought my car had broken, something was just thunking like hell, shaking the whole damn car so I hit the pause button and it stopped...then I realized I had been missing out on a cool part of a song I have been listening to for years!"

thanks again, we greatly appreciate the support.

Honestly, I say the 10" is the winner in the size/wallop/leftover trunk space. I will say this though, what I recommend is look at your music collection. If it is more than 75% dubstep/D-n-B/Rap, get a 12". Between 40% and 60%, get a 10...if under 5%, get an 8".

Note the gaps...thats where you are on your own! but I sent you specs, model up a storm, I want to see how it looks with your modeling. Just remember that with heavy car audio cones, box space goes way down.

You should see a tiny rise at about 45hz, just that little bump to smooth out the E30 50Hz suckout using a typical 8"" Qts around .5, Fs around 32hz.

Let me know what you wanna do. PS: Dude in LA, "Robrez", has an 8" with a type R. Of everything I have heard, that is the winner. Best mix of slam and detail, it kicks ass. The Boston was tight as hell and took 3 weeks to loosen up, but it was great after that. The Sony had just wicked control, played stupid low and generally kicked ass...but SVC only, and that amp neeeds to see a 2 ohm load.

OK, back to E39 boxes, we gotta get this done so we can get 2 different 900HP E46 M3 Verts done and get started on a gorgeous E24 M6...so, since we have so much piled up, I had best get back to it.

Thanks!

Music...I am a total cracker. Clasic rock, alternative rock, the occasional electronic stuff, some Latin house music from time to time. No dubstep or phat beatzzz here, yo! I'm just looking for some solid low frequency extension and snappy snare drum reproduction.

I replied your PM with a pile of additional questions. Once I have a surer idea of the drivers to look at, I will model them up and post about it. I'm pretty stoked about finally getting a proper enclosure, and being rid of all the electronic junk in the trunk. $180 is a hell of a deal on the 8" box (and even more of a deal on the 10" box). Having built a number of my own enclosures (car and home), I'd say that $180 is overall less than what it would cost me to DIY when factoring in all the time I would have to spend (and the fact that I am supposed to be working on my house's baseboards...if my wife catches me building more speakers before that is done, oh boy.....lol).

Ha ha ha! and here I thought that everyone on here was into dubstep. Phat beatzz ... classic.

Kevin, you have heard pretty much all of them, would you agree that he would be OK with an 8" but better off with a 10", or do you think the 10 is overkill?

Just received mine today and installed it is a work of art and sounds awesome can't wait till the sub breaks in and I can really push it
