Are we talking about the same Luke Fisher? There is a entire FB group that someone started to talk about for the number of people he screwed over. Countless others that bought into his crossover that was a flop.
@Five5peed May I ask how you sent the money? Did you actually receive the item, or are you waiting on it???Last edited by george graves; 07-12-2019, 04:26 AM.Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?

So yea. The crossovers were a flop for them. For sure. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...SP-E39s/page11

He're what I think happened. Luke took a multimeter to the bulb and measured it's resistance.....and said "Hey, I can use this as a resistor in my crossovers!" - But what he didn't know was that as a bulb filament heats up, it's resistance changes dramatically. Basically a bulb is a very poor resistor. (Resistors, at least decent ones, should stay the same value of resistance throughout their wattage range)
Eventually he got a different batch of bulbs - or something. And "poof" there goes all the work that was done.
I tried to relay this info to him by a friend of a friend to tell him this, but he didn't want anything to do with that advice.
And should we talk about all the posts he deleted when he was a mod that criticized his work in any way?Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?

I installed some of his products (ported through the center parcel shelf, ported through the seat and ported through the stock speaker locations), they all sounded great, even so with the cheap speaker he would throw in for free when the customer requested.
Also installed one of his crossovers, didn't have any weird light bulb, was actually a well put together product, but this was many years ago - not sure about his 5 series products, or stock upgrades.
EDIT: Looks like 2015 was the last time we saw anything from him at the shop...

EDIT2: Looking back at this pic, those do look like dome light bulbs soldered in?....

There's also along list of screen captures of him holding people boxes hostage if they dare to leave feedback for him.

Originally posted by george graves View PostLooking at his crossovers, he used something odd - rather then a resistor rated for the power it needed to dissipate the heat, on all of his crossovers, he used a standard, autozone type automotive lamp. Like a 1980's car overhead light bulb - and used that as a resistor.

I hope these bulbs weren't placed in a filter circuit, since you want the filter frequency to be a set value, and I doubt they were.
