9515rob Wall Rebuild

Well since my subs are off getting fixed and my amp is sold i figured i would rip my wall out and batts out. The other reason was because it isnt a busy year for comps and have alot of time before the next show

Im building this one in the car unlike my other wall. Also i am trying to do a drivers side port.

This piece was on top of the batts it was my temp amp rack

3 screws in i took a chunk out of my finger

Looks like one hell of a mess doesnt it

Some of the mess is gone

Hard to believe that all fit in a trunk of a mustang isnt it

Time to start taking out the seats and center console to take the box out

The wall is out. Kinda ****ed up my headliner and was hoping to keep the box how it was when it went in but it didnt happen o well

My cars suspension was bottomed out it was sitting at 25". I gained 2" of it back from just taking the batteries out and another 1" from taking the wall out. It is nice driving with all that weight out it is back to being some what quick and i can roast the tires taking off again

Well i thought building a wall in a car would be a little bit easier than what it was. I started by trying to make the floor and that was an EPIC fail. So i screwed a board to the back wall and went from there.

The first load of supplies

Have you guys heard of the new pick up truck Ford came out with? Its called the Ford Mustang


So i started working with the top since i figured which way i should do it first. This is the top bracing

I will be adding more 2x4s across them i have to have room to screw them in from the back side so i had to hold off

The small part will be the top going to the front of the box and the longer pieces are going along the back window

Thats all i have got done so far i need to spend some time studying peoples builds

I have a pretty decent build log. Hopefully it will help you.

Yeah i actually looked at that like 2 days ago. I need to take a better look to get some ideas.

I have been trying to study Dereks with the 3 18s build log to get some ideas even tho his is completely different for the most part but there are some things here and there that help me out

can you post the link to that build log? i'd like to look at it.

What are the details on your setup? subs? amps?

But im going to be running 2 Crossfire XS v2 15s....Amp will most likely be a American Bass 1100.1 or i might go the DC route i dont know yet....This is my daily driver so i am going to be tunning it to 32-34hz or so

well everything i had done went to the scrap pile. I have had alot of trouble the first couple times i have tried to do this so i took a break for awhile and went back to work on it today.

I got alot of work done today. I got the floor, back and top in tonight along with a little bit of the side on the drivers side.

This was the only pic i got in before it got dark. It wasnt fully together there but u get the idea


Im going to have to take the hand plainer to some of the 2x4s to get them level with the other ones.

Good luck. Last time I did a wall it took what felt like forever.

did some work tonight on leveling the top and some of the back. I made one hell of a mess with the hand plainer

Just a little bit of a mess. It was hell to vacuum out

Dirty Boy hahaha

I bet thats gonna itch a bit

got a hell of alot of work done on the wall today. Got the top,bottom,sides, and back covered in mdf. All i got to do is 45 the corners and then its time to do some glassing

i will get pictures of it tomorrow it was to dark when i finished up today

Got some work done today

Here is how it looked yesterday




Did some glassing tonight. I am going to have to do alot of sanding because i make one hell of a mess

Kyle thought he would be funny with my old DD sign i made

It's looking good so far. How many layers are you gonna do?

i got 4-5 layers of mat so far in the corners but it is no where close to where i want it to be. I Still have to do some of the other corners in mat to try to stiffen them up a little. I will more than likely over do this whole thing because the last thing i want is the box to fall apart after a year or so

I just looked at that full build log too! Nice.. and wow that was a lot of pictures!! hope to see it at scrapin!

yeah this wont be at scrapin.lol we are in illinois. we are goin to slamology this weekend its a db drag event though

Here is what 10s i plan on running in my final set up. A guy that owns a shop north of me and that i compete with has his own sub line he gets made. his sub line is called Rival Audio

These 10s if i remember right are 1500rms

well i figured i would finish off my first gallon of resin so i fiberglassed one of the corners and then put 20oz of resin on the floor

Im kind of pissed because where the heat lamp was it made the resign bubble up so its not smooth like how it should be.

Will get more pictures of the corner in a little photobucket doesnt want to upload my pictures from my phone for some reason

well i got tired of glassing so i called it quits on that and figured i would move on and do some bondo work. This is my first time using kitty hair and it sucks. I didnt think it would be that big of a b1tch to work with


Started working on a the first corner and made one hell of a mess.

Ensure you use glove with kitty hair... that stuff can be nasty to get off your hands...I had to sand it off mine basically...

well i did a quick sand to get all the high spots down and threw another lay on top to smooth it all off



i got less than a 1/4 of a can left. I dont think im gonna bother with the top of the box since i havent made to big of a mess up there glassing so its pretty smooth and i know its nice and solid from the 2x4s behind it

o believe me i am. The worst part is when it starts burning your hands threw the gloves.

I have some expandable foam on my finger nails from about 2 months ago

my palm sander sh1tt out on me last night so i went out and bought a belt sander since i need it for my car and some other Dung Pile around the house. Yes i know its a cheap assssss one but its good enough for what i need it for.

my nice black interior is now white. Im not looking forward to cleaning it all

After sanding the bottom i realized maybe doing all this work getting it smooth as hell was a bad idea. Im already tired of this shittttt haha

well it wasnt 100 degrese yesterday so i got a hell of alot of work done on the box after i got off work.

I got tired of using kitty hair and didnt feel like buying another gallon to finish the rest of the box so i said F it and moved on to the next step

got it all sanded down to get it ready for some bondo



Saftey first. I put that on after i was half way done sanding it. Then i didnt wear it at all for sanding bondo for some reason.

Took a little break and helped kyle work on a guy on are teams wall. For some reason i like to get in boxes and we thought it would be funny if i route the hole out while i was in there.

Time for some bondo



I got the bottom, sides, and the back all bondoed <(if thats a word idk) and sanded down.


This is how i look after a long hard day of work. I know its a good look right

got some work done on the box tonight. The bottom is ready for paint no i need to get a second layer of bondo on the rest of it and fill in the holes and get the top completely bondoed and get it sanded

Nice work

I know the sanding aint the best in the world but i ran out of time to make it look nice.

This fall or winter when comp season is over, i plan on doing some work on the port to make her look a little better

This was the box of many angles. There seriously was not a straight edge on the at whole baffle everything is at some type of angle

24 holes down 8 more to go


3 of the 4 layers


Yeah i know it doesnt look that great yet so done even say anything about it


If this aint loud im gonna be so pissed


The best part is i should be able to lean my seat back all the way against the wall since the subs wont hit the seat this time

looks good so far man
