To wall or not to wall?
 

Has anyone out there ever tried walling a trunked sedan? Advice?
I am considering walling my 96 Plymouth Breeze. I want to board up the trunk itself completely and leave it as a space to run my amps, batteries, caps, etc. then set up somewhat of a wall behind my front seats and use the rear passenger space for a box. I am completely new to the concept of setting up a wall, so it might be a huge mistake, but i have always wanted to try it and dont own a hatchback.
As it is i have 2 15's, but considering dumping some $$ into another 2 15s to add to it. I was told a wall wouldnt work in a car with a trunk because of the trunk, so thats why i decided i would board it up and block it off completely other than my wiring going in and out of it.
I am thinking of starting this project next week, but would like as much input as possible before i get started.

Oh yeah, one more thing. If i did put a wall in, is the car still able to compete in dB drags? Does it change my class or anything?

you'd be either in Super Street or Street Max depending on how many amps and batts you decide to use. Good luck, been there and done that many many years ago. At the very least it will be a great ground pounder

So far all i have is 2 15s and about 880W rms to run them with. I am putting a second battery in tomorrow evening. It is just a battery from a transport truck, other than that i have no idea what it is. I will know tomorrow when my friend drops it off for me. I got it for free, and got some 0 gauge wire to work with to set it up. I even have a spare alternator layin around that i am considering putting in if i suddenly upgrade my power and have a need for it.
As it is, with 880W rms i cant see the need to upgrade much when it comes to my power. My lights dont even dim at all since i upgraded my wiring under the hood to 4 gauge.

I have a wall in a 4 door focus.

Did you have to board off or seal off the trunk area?

I sealed it from the front.
No need to seal from the back if you seal from the front good.

So with a single amp running 880W rms and a pair of 15's, which class would it put me in? I am just curious if the wall itself effects which class im in. Someone told me if i put a wall in it will change which class i would be in.

I have a wall of 4 15`s behind front seats in a 91 lincoln towncar.

Not finished by anymeans but its a start

you'll either be in Stree Max 1-2 or Super Street 1-2 depending on how many batteries you have. If you go with just one then you'll be in the Street Max class. With more then one battery you'll be in the Super Street class

Wow! Keep those wall pics comin!! hehe
Those are some pretty sweet looking setups you guys got there. What sort of numbers are ya pullin with those?

I have 1 earthquake D3 right now and I do 154.7 is my highest on a comp mic.
Put me at Audio source and I do 159.2(I love that mic)

Here's a nice loud wall for ya :)
It was in the back of a 2 door cavalier

I so hear ya man,

This is my first attempt at a wall, I see a few mistakes I`ve made while doing it, but I plan on correcting shortly.

I`m doing a 149.9 on the TL sealed on the windshield, with only 2 Pyle PLAD3300D cheapy monoblocks and 4 six volt batteries on stock alternator.

thats the sickest cavi ever nice bling tape :eyes:

Ok, so this post ended up being pretty much useless for me since the wife absolutely wont let me do the wall. lol....women

Anyone know if it would produce more spl just using a ported box at the back of the trunk or to put them to the front of the trunk and seal the trunk off. I will try and make a basic diagram in mspaint or something to explain a bit better since i cant really think of how to put it into words...

Im basically just trying to remove some of the trunk space to make the cabin size smaller, hoping to get a bit more spl out of it this way. I have always found that the further back i put my subs, the better it sounded. So i wonder if this is going to be better than putting my subs all the way to the back of the trunk and keeping the trunk functional. Im also not a big fan of subs being angled, but its the only way it fits in the space (14.5" high, but on the angle the seat folds to it gives me 16 1/4" to work with).
Anyone ever try this sort of setup, or just know in general, that could fill me in whether it would be better or worse?
