SlamminBeats Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) So ill be building the box in the car...obviously. First step is bolt the floor to the frame of the car then put in the walls then the roof, then the face plate. Next or before face plate is to fiber glass the inside and silicon the edges in the box. Then spray the foam around the edges of the box to seal off the wall. My question is do i just spay the foam, and it will bond the box to the ceiling/side panels in my car? After this i just add trim panels to make it look pretty. Am i right here? Edited April 12, 2012 by SlamminBeats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig28 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 How sad is this? i just got my DD 9518, and im already wanting to wall 2 of these. First off, 4k rms in a wall stupid? as in not enough power? Second, how much in material on average does a wall cost, i just spent 300 to get my box made, so would it be more than that? Third, i know how to seal a wall, but how to you make it look clean, like make the box and b pillar per say blend nicely? Thanks!! Glass and paint usually makes them blend real nice. I've been following Ryan Blaser's 300 build on YT like crazy and he is a prime example of that. a21bravo is his user name. Or there is a build log on here of a guy whose username is Aaron. Justin Yeo is building his wall and doing the glass method and its pretty sick. I don't think 4kw is stupid. One build on here, can't remember whose at the moment, is using 2 dc 2ks and it was putting up some damn good numbers.

larrys95civic Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Well I'll give you an example of what is going into my wall, 6 sheets of birch plywood at around 45 bucks a sheet, 2 to 3 gallons of fiberglass resin at around 25 bucks a gallon, chop mat, not sure I have giant rolls of it, probably 15 10 foot 2x4's , tons of sand paper, bondo, paint, hmm probably around 400. I just got the design done so I haven't made a true materials list yet. I hope this helps and I'd look at a little more then 4k.

Nivram Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I know my wall is nowhere near perfect but yeaa. You gotta figure out what kind of wall you want and what kind of wall your vehicle will let you build. b piller walls are sick but i couldnt do that in my car because i wouldnt have been able to move the seat back to a comfy driving position. First i started with the floor of it. Pulled out the seats seatbelts ,brackets, cpillar trim, rear deck trim ect.. Then i had to make a level surface for the floor of the box to lay on with 2x4. I put 90degree brackets on the 2x4 into the chassis / frame of the car to hold it in while bumpin. After that i laid down my bull ish particle board and screwed it in to the 2x4 base . I then used the 2x4 to frame or make a base for the back of the box. put in 90's and so on screwed it in. The fun part. I built the frame for the top sides and face all at the same time Installed the top first then sides then face. it takes alot of time and planning out. 5k electronics in westland bbuild some sick looking walls. as for making it pretty they told me to use this stuff http://www.yarnivore.com/francis/archives/images/cardboard.jpg Cut it in half or 1/4s to have a nice curve to glass over for a nice roofline trim piece. I need to figure out how to make it pretty because thats the step im going to be at after my subs get here. I need a port tune and faceplates then its time for cosmetics.
