qcbangin Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 ok, so i've been wanting do a wall build for awhile, and it seems like everything is falling into place to make it happen. i just need a little advice on how to go about it. my plans are to run 2 hdc3 18's, on an aq3500. will be upgrading electrical to support this as well. it will be in a 1994 chrysler LHS. it is a 4door. my available space is 58"w X 34"h X 34"d. but i've never done a wall, and don't know anyone locally who has. i probably won't have the equipment until mid to late jan. thats when the money will be available. can anyone give a newb wall builder some advice and pointers? thanks guys.

smokeumtires Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) My best advice would be to reasearch this forum... A lot of members on here have done walls, a very good example to learn off would be Meade, the civic's wall is a perfect example on how to wall a (4)door Edited December 22, 2011 by smokeumtires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qcbangin Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 thanks. i've been checking out some of the build logs, but didn't even think to check steve's builds. going to go check it out right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqsux Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 A lot of people like to make a shell out of 2x4s and then just add the wood to the inside of that. That woul probably be the easiest way if you're not the best at building IMO. I like to use 2x2s on every joining corner inside of the box to add strength to the joints as well.

qcbangin Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 thats what i was going to do. i wish the money was here now. i'm ready to get this started. now! and i could have gotten in on the great deal you had on your hdc3's. i was running a single hdc3 off about 2000rms, and was hooked on aq. thanks for the advice. anymore pointers guys?

Kevin M Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Overbuild the shit out of it...and get help. Building a wall by yourself isn't very easy. Be patient and don't cut corners. Use titebond II or similar glue. Have a plan how you want to build it. I sat for hours trying to figure out how to piece mine together. Hopefully my mistakes help you out.

qcbangin Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 i'm deenitely not cutting corners! i will have help, but not from anyone with wall building experience. and on the glue issue, has anyone ever used gorilla glue wood glue? is it any good? or at least does it compare to tite-bond?

BFF Larry Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I heard that gorilla glue doesn't bond like titebond does.

BFF Larry Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 thanks. i was planning on using the gorilla glue, but not if it doesn't work as good. I would stay away from gorilla glue for boxes, but the tape is what a lot of people use instead of fiberglassing to the b - pillars when sealing. Search for gorilla glue here on the forums and a lot of people will say the same thing Quote Team Clearly Louder (MECA)Team DC Audio ++* SELLING the CACTUS SOUNDS K12 for $1550 shipped *++ HMU!!! 3 flips. nollie flips. big flips. hardflips. - steez Youtube Channel My Build Log 95 Bonneville SSE - WALLED/4th Order - ~30 cubes - *thanks LoganBerry, CortezDVT, Cj18, SuperCharged DC, Ryan-RAM Designs,LoudNLow931* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
