Are Walls Safe?

depends on construction of the wall and the accident steel construction like stated could help in a rollover, but in all seriousness a few bolts to the sheet metal or wood to sheet metal isn't going to be pretty if you hit an object at highway speeds.... not to mention the mass of the huge woofers most of you are running adding more stress ....

have you not ever seen the crashes from when a vehicle is going through crash tests?

just being realistic... and would of's - could of's can have 1,000 different possible variables. I know that no one thinks about it, but if you have a passenger, and had some crap as box that crushes them; it really is your fault... and claiming ignorance is no defense. I am sure we all seen an egg hit the floor and break by the time you are in first grade... and the wheels of the brain started turning taking it in...

As a shop I have to think about all the legalities before I do anything, warranty, injury, hazards, etc... as it all comes back to the facilitator...

so in a nut shell... it is all about physics...

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

lol it would do a lot more than that. it would be about 400lbs hitting out at whatever speed you were driving. so 400lbs going 40mph... youd be pretty fucked up lol. but ya, bolt everything down very well. a couple self tapping screws wont do the trick lol.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Im pretty sure we have the same friend?????

Pretty blue focus with 2 fi btls walled....

I got pictures someplace...

To put it simple, the batteries in the trunk of the car where busted all over the side of the road.

The kicker 2500.1s where laying behind the car ripped in half...

Btls still in wall, but a tad damaged iirc...

So I say a properly built wall is safe!

IMO its just as good as a roll cage, but again, properly build, reinforced, and bolted to the vehicle (not screwed).
