How do I wall

[Based]

I was going over thoughts on walling next year... And I was just wondering if I could get a couple simple questions answered here while I'm googling...

Is a wall just a box that blocks off everything behind the box?

I only need a 14 cube box... So do I just make a 14 cube box and fill the sides, floor, and roof gaps with wood?

Does the entire area behind the back of the box need to be filled or can I put my amp and batteries back there?

I've never built a box before, should I even be thinking about building a wall????

it would kinda be like jumping into the deep end before learning how to swim.

A wall is mainly wall to wall taking up the largest space possible.

If you have a hatchback or suv then mounting amps behind is possible, but again a wall is a almost sealed off box.

You dont want to leave TOO MUCH space behind as you will lose cabin space for unneeded box space.

I don't understand your last sentence, maybe I'm tired .

I don't get why it has to fill the entire back space. I thought as long as it blocks off the back of the cabin from the front it's a wall. Isn't the reason walls are loud is because they cut down the air the subs have to displace?

fuarkin double post.... triple post

An example for my last sentence is, you dont want to make a wall in the middle of your vehicle because then you are leaving space that doesnt need to be left.

As for why a wall is louder is because you have less chances of cancellation. The air being pushed will go one way and wont have a chance to go back making the sound bounce causing cancellation.

Sorry if im not making sence, but its harder to explain without showing how it works in a graphical picture.

Ok, I drive an extended cab truck. It has a front seat and a back seat. So keep that in mind when I ask this:

so would it not be ok if I made the box in the middle of my cabin, leaving maybe a little less than half of my back seat area empty?

No. That's not a wall. You have to completely seal it from the back wave. This is not something you want to jump into. They hardly work right the first 5 times.

Is there like a write-up I can read explaining the basics of this?

I have a truck also and have 2 options.

Make a wall built around the bucket seat with 2 ports made to spec.

Or make an entire wall with a large port so you can make external ports which can be bolted over it kinda like a aero port, but just being a huge slot port.

Just remember the bucket seat idea needs to have a wooden wall behind it or else you will lose spl.
