Worth doing a wall?


Recommended Posts

As title and description state I am having thoughts about building a wall.

http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/84100-nissan-pulsar-build-aussie-style/

It would be in the veicle in the above topic. I have a single T2000.1 RF amp for power and the woofers that are currently in the car.

Would it be worth my time effort and money to create a wall in place of the rear seats and into the boot area a little?

This would be ported with a large ammount of port for the box size at least 20 inches per foot. tuning would be in the

area of 29-32hz again as I like the sound so far from the current box.

I am open to suggestions for ideas other than a wall but I can't afford more woofers at this time. T-line? Or too much power?

Hope to see some opinions soon.

If you have money, yes.

If you do not have money, no.

Walls are not cheap at all if done correctly. Honestly, with your current subwoofer line-up, I would hold off on the wall for now. I would prefer more cone area, but that's just my opinion. :drink40:

Good luck in whichever you choose!

Don't wall it until you have equipment worth walling. If you do a wall and you get completely different equipment later on and have to tear down and rebuild your wall, you'll be kicking yourself, cuz a proper wall costs quite a bit.

I don't see how you will accomplish anything any different then what you have already other then some more port area so they will get a little louder, but you could do that with the current design already. I would say don't wall until you decide to do more subs or bigger subs.

Why not?

I had one, hated it, gained a huge blind spot behind me, made my car top heavy, and like 5 other stupid things that made car less safe

I have a wall on my daily and love it. Granted I have other vehicles to drive so I don't have to drive it all the time, but I do anyway if it just me and don't have 3 other people with me. And everyone who is saying walls are expensive, how, have you guys done a "correct" wall before? LOL, mine wasn't much more then my 2 15 L7 box I made, just alot more time.

Fortunatly for me this car is definatly not a daily anymore. I have a work vehicle and 2 other vehicles I can choose from if this car is not drivable for any reason.

The point wenn_du_weinst made is one to help discourage me from wanting a wall behind my head. When this car is driven corners add to the fun factor. Weight is not a drama for the suspension as it is already as solid as a rock front and rear.

I can't afford to increase the port size in the current box as it is only at 4.59 cubes after displacements and I have 56 square inches as it is and the port can't be any longer.

I mainly want to increase the volume as I am on the small side of things now with about 1.15 cuft per woofer.

To go any larger I would need to extend the box through to the rear seat. My eyeball calculator says that I have about 12-14 cuft behind the front seats when at driving position.

Would I be better off simply making a larger box for now and persue a greater quantity of woofers to do more at a later date?

Or even a T-line for these woofers using the smaller amps?

All I want to do is move more air (don't we all) in a cabin this small it is easy enough to get the beginings of some hair movement.

I currently have 2 rockford r500.1's powering the 4 of them I have a spare old style rockford T2000.1 available to power the woofers if I so wish.

The electrical is currently simply a large factory battery but I run twin 120A alts and 0ga wiring all round under the hood. More batterys will come soon.

why not bump what you got but start buying more of the same subs you have now you have 4 if you do a clamshell depending on the size of the car you could add 4 or more and some bigger amps for them
