I made one comment, on one post you made. If I was trolling you, your mom would text you.

There's a big difference between using a incandescent bulb as a "protection circuit" and using it as part of a RC network. I don't have the wiring diagram that Luke used, but I suspect that's what he did. I've said that from the start - this is what I think happened. It's my educated guess.
Now, I'll be glad to debate with you where GAS when wrong in their "business". Let me know where you want to start. I know you're one of Luke's friends - so I get it. But for the love of God man, let it go. It's over. Move on. Luke isn't coming back.

George, your lack of actual knowledge on this topic is showing.
Crossover Fuses at Parts Express. Choose speaker crossover tweeter protector lamps, bulb replacement tweeter protection lamp for crossovers plus.
Did you ever even own any of his products or get screwed over by him? You certainly act like you did.

Like a 1980's car overhead light bulb - and used that as a resistor.
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)

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

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...

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

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?

Is this magical luke box just a box that fits in an e30? Maybe there is a market for a Dave box.

@Five5peed May I ask how you sent the money? Did you actually receive the item, or are you waiting on it???
