Posted May 9, 201114 yr Okay guys, I need your help on this one. Now ive built a few boxes and understand the basic concepts/calcs of everything but have never built a wall before. My brother asked me yesterday if I would build him one yesterday and thats why im posting this today. Can anyone give me some tips and explain the order at which i should start it? **Now Im not asking you to explain every single thing (tuning or port size or anything like that which would depend on the subs, which he hasnt decided on yet)Thanks for any input and as always its appreciated.
May 9, 201114 yr Maybe you should ask a more general question...Pretty simple, build a box and isolate it from the back portion of the car. Generic pointers aren't so helpful.

Generic pointers aren't so helpful.okay...building in an suv i would have no problem, very easy. now when builing it in a car...i would take out the backseats and would i build a box over just the back seat and not go into the trunk or would i have to extend it into the trunk by angleing the back of the box, if you know what im saying..lol
May 9, 201114 yr Idk iv never made a wall I'd prob just make the box for the sub so that it is where you want it and cover it with something that looks nice thin wood wrapped in leather ? Put some mids and tweets on the upper part of it

May 9, 201114 yr Usually most walls are built from behind b pillar to the trunk when done in a car, most people leave the trunk area to make customize amp rack holders. But as said above if you need more space than building some of the enclosure in the trunk will be helpful to reach your goal. The first step in a wall build would be to find your max dimensions so you can calculate what room is availabe for subs, bracing and so on. There are some step by step wall builds in the build log as well. You can make a shell out of 2x4's and work your way into an enclosure or you can build a big enclosure in the car and just panel it off to make it look like it is taking up the whole backseat area. There are multiple ways to pull this off and no wrong way. You would want to even out the dance floor, or where your gonna place the enclosure to make it balanced and leveled. Most just lay some wood down and bolt it to the car, once its leveled out you can start on the enclosure itself.Dont have too many tips as I havent built one myself but seen one built and been looking into this for some time, hopefully someone can chime in with more information.

May 10, 201114 yr Author Thanks for all the input guys....this is deff going to be a fun build. Ill post it in the build log once my brother decides on subs and i get started
May 10, 201114 yr I just recommend taking your time. Measure twice cut once. We have all heard this before. Take the time and do the math. I agree djjdnap, its a lot less work and if you ever wanted to take it out it wouldnt be as much of a problem.
