Are Walls Safe?

[VIP3R]

I mean honestly, if you got into a car accident, i am sure it wouldn't be pretty..

are walls really that safe?

or most walls just for show vehicles?

What were you of afraid of happening...the walls breaking and 16cu ft of air fall on top of you?

On a serious note, ive been in some serious wrecks with no hazards. Of course not cheap to fix but no issues beyond the wallet.

walls imo i think would be safe if someone build them right..... just like in police vans or some work vans that have cage walls behind the seats its pretty much the same concept but it has speakers in it and its prolly more secure..... if it wasnt i dont think it would be legal to operate a car with it inside of there...... plenty of people get pulled over with walls and no cops ever say anything about it

just my 2 cents

If it's built to not move, like bolted down. Strapped down etc. Then yes they are much much safer. There was a guy a year or so ago that hit a deer and rolled his car goin home from finals iirc and he had a wall. The only thing that saves his life was the wall because it kept the cabin from crushing in.

No walls aren't just for show vehicles. Me and jeff drive daily with them and I'm sure plenty o others do to.

Now If you got in a head-on collision.. I dont think anything is safe obviously. But I would prefer a bolted down, sealed off from cabin box, than a small 12" woofer box being thrown around when you get in a crash and maybe knocking you in the head.

Just don't wreck! lol I could see a 4 15" wall giving somebody a concussion in a bad fender bender ...lol

ive had a wall in my dd for 3 years, just make sure shes bolted down, im sure it acts as a roof support for sure.

If you have ANY enclosure that could shift and become a hazard in a wreck then you shouldn't have it in the car. If your wall can move at all then you built it wrong and shouldn't be doing a wall in the first place.

As dwright mentioned, some guy with a Focus flipped it a couple of years ago driving home from Finals, the wall basically acted like a roll-cage.

i cant remember his name, but i know the guy you are talking about. he drove a blue ford focus. i was parked in the stall next to him at world finals '06. he was a real cool dude, we hung out the entire weekend. he had the wreck on the way home from that finals.
