civic hatchback-to wall or not to wall?

hey guys I'm looking for some input from anybody who has experience with a car like mine.

I have an '88 civic hatchback, same body style as a crx, that i will be building for either sb2 or 3 for 2011. I was planning to build a wall with either 4 10's or 4 12's but have been wondering if a non wall setup would be as loud or louder in this car. I know that nobody walls crx's, but i assume thats usually because they are running them in stock classes as well. my car on the other hand will never be ran in stock because the rear seats are removed. I would think that a wall should be louder because the cabin volume would be smaller, but I've seen a lot of amazing numbers from non walled setups in sb. so what do y'all think?

non wall
cause its easiar to drive after the show

Wall it! It looks cooler in the mirror!

You can own sb3 with this car if you want. SWAT did one sb5 with 8 10's and 12v that did i think 162's as its highest number. The only thing making it sb5 was it was a shop car.

ohh yeah it was a wall, well kinda a wall.

This car won't be a daily driver, so I'm not worried about that. Even if it was I've had walled daily cars before and didn't mind it one bit.

I definitely agree man, and that's exactly why I want to do a wall. I've had walled setups before and love the way it looks so menacing, especially when you go through a drive through.

But I don't want all show and no go, so if non walled will be louder I will go that route.

Does anybody have or no where I could find more info and/or pics of this car?

I know according to the point system you can run 8 10's in sb3, but I've seen somewhere that said you could only have 6. I didn't know if maybe that changed at some point or something.

Thanks man, that car is sick. Great looking car too.

I've never seen anybody run warhorses in usaci before, I'm surprised 2 even fit in that car. I thought about getting one since they're pretty cheap right now for some reason.

i just picked up a civic also doing the same build as swat did but with 6 12s

I'm thinking about doing 8 10's now i'm really liking that idea.

what setup do y'all think would have more potential in my honda

4 AQ hdc3 10's no wall on 2 aq3500's for sb2
or
8 AQ sdc2.5 10's walled on 2 aq3500's for sb3

I know the sdc woofers can get loud, i've done 153+ with 4 sdc 15's on 2 aq2200's in my suburban. but I've never seen anybody getting over 155 with lower level subs, which is where i want to be.
