tlee2 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 I have a 07 Suzuki forenza with a 15 fi bl runnin of a sundown saz 1500d. It hits ok in my car but I took it out and put it in my friends eclipse and there was atleast a 5db increase. I wish I had a hatchback or a suv but I'm gone be pretty much stuck with this car for awhile. So I was wondering is it worth building a wall? If I do it will have 2 fi bl 15s. I will never be able to get as loud as I want out a trunk and want a wall anyway. So will it be worth building? I have room for 2 15s in my trunk but if there will be a BIG difference with a wall I would like to go that route 6 Sundown X 15s 2 Sundown NS1 V2s C Pillar 4th order Bagged Suburban on 24s http://youtube.com/tlee333
CarAudioFab Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 The main difference to me with a wall is the fact that you gain so much more air space, you can really give subs room to breath, obviously there are disadvantages though as well, no more back seat, no more rear view mirror, extreme addition of weight, you need to plan it out right, gotta get some new suspension components as well as secure that wall to the rear of the vehicle so it doesn't crush you in an accident.... -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

kfx450r Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 If you can spair the extra space, not having back seats, rear view, additional weight. Its definatly worth it, but if your iffy on it i wouldnt, u can still get good sound out of a trunk just takes lots of testing. have u tried sealing everything ?
LoudBlazer Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 The reason the eclipse was louder cause its a hatchback! Im all for walls but maybe work on the current setup the best you can and see what happens. SUV vs hatchback the hatch is almost always gonna be louder with same setup. 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350

HHR Ed Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 walls have a potential to be at least 5 db louder than the same system non-walled. I say Wall it.

What do you think abt 2 fi bls firing into the cabin sealed from the trunk vs 2 firing towards the back of the trunk? im running one now firing backwards and i turned it firing into the cabin and it was ALOT quiter. i used pillows to fill the gaps to get a idea of it sealed..lmao..but i know that wasnt a good thing to go off of. 6 Sundown X 15s 2 Sundown NS1 V2s C Pillar 4th order Bagged Suburban on 24s http://youtube.com/tlee333
