Jacob's Wall Build Log

[sundownz Pro Seller]

Got this truck through some horse trading... current setup was tested to do 154.3 dB @ 61 Hz with two Z15s and a clamped power of 5000 watts total. I want a more efficient setup so I am tearing it all down!

Some pics of the current setup with the cap off and starting to tear down :

Old wall has a great baffle - 7 layers thick - but the outside is too thin. It is one layer of MDF with super dense foam sandwiched between that and a thin layer of wood (I had that peeled off before the pics). It does have concrete above the front chamber, though, so that is not too bad.

All in all I think it could be better so I am going to rip it out!

Someone wasted a lot of time building that. Good luck with your build.

It has actually done over 160 in the past, so for what it is it did pretty good!

Not 100% sure what I'm doing yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Once I get it out I am going to take a good look at it and consider my options. I have thought about some sort of band-pass but I may end up going back regular ported wall.

My goal is to do ~157 or so with Z15s on 5kw or less... then I will put bigger stuff in from there. I think I will stick with two 15s.

Taking out the concrete is going to be difficult... has a metal mesh in it.

Can't wait to see this.

Concrete is OFF... working on the foam. I think I can re-use the shell and just layer it up with actual wood //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

We are also working on a 4th order wall for 12 x 12s today... so we are busy!
