HOW TO Make a False Wall subwoofer box - Hide speaker enclosure video - CarAudioFabrication

This video will teach you how you can finish a subwoofer build in a car with a trunk or an SUV hatch via the use of a false wall. Many people avoid using a false wall, but if you follow some of our tips, you can use one to the full effect! This will allow you to make your subwoofer box install look professional and integrate well with the vehicle!
This video will show the use of several router bits, the chamfer bit, the flush trim bit, the roundover bit, and even the rabbeting bit!

[@solidkonng]

You've come long way Mark. I happened to come across this video by chance and still managed to learn something. Keep up the great work. Thanks for the knowledge to help me build my own Audio system.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I cringe at some of these old videos but everyone starts somewhere! Thanks for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I need to make a cover for them, I planned on doing that as another tutorial but people were screaming for the door pods videos so I didn't get around to it. Door pods are almost done so I will get back to it soon. Thanks for posting.

[@NicholasFaustDoty]

No Problem, I enjoy your show. I dont even install stereos on a regular basis. I just get curious with new things and I find it cool to see how things are done. Keep up the great work, you are doing great.

[@wal]

Mark, I know your secrets...they are all flawless! Your vids are awesome! I've always wanted to see how fabrication is done and you do a great job w/ your presentation. Keep it up bro!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Nice idea! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I read all the comments and do my best to reply, it means a lot to me that everyone enjoys my videos, just trying to be a "down to earth" kind of guy! :)

[@DWES415]

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Excellant, thanks for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Nice sounds cool! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Nice! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks man! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Woo! GOod idea! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Nice choice! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Best. Tool. Ever. Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Awesome man! Your the first one that has caught this! Thanks for watching all the way!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Haha nice Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks, this wall is actually over a slot port, just make the cutout shapes larger than the port cross sectional area. Thanks for watching

[@Sticksaudio]

Well, (off topic) I thank you for replying to my comment, I didn't think you would. But I would get 4 Obsidian Audio 18's and then if I had enough from the $1000 left over I would get one of the batteries needed for that build. Final build plans, 4 OA 18's, 10,000 watts, three alternaters, and 10 batteries. And thanks again for replying to my post, it means a lot knowing that you take the time to read the posts. And just because I forgot to say it before...flawless. lol

[@thebarnworxgarage4806]

Never watched this build of yours before and to see your routing on the floor surprised me. You’ve came so far man! Keep it up!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I should thanks for the idea! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Haha that would be awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I am all about you taking the time to learn how to do it your self, but maybe start with trying some more simple builds for friends or family before your own, just take your time!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks for stopping by bro!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

To save the world, just like anyone else, haha buddies were into it in high school, so I started.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

The vinyl trim piece is press fit. Check out my other video for more detail there. The brackets are pretty simple, just one edge against the box the other against the back side of the false wall. Thanks for watching

[@ndinadis]

Panel looks Flawless How would you suggest doing a similar piece over a slot ported enclosure and make it look nice? Also if I cut out just the slot it would effectively lengthen the port and lower my tuning correct?

[@1gnxregal1]

This is truly flawless, not even the place were I had my sound system is this "flawless"I'm defense tilt going to tweak it with all this tricks. Thanks

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thats right! Be patient! Thanks for watching

[@jaredwhite7378]

been following your videos for sometime. Thanks for all the information. What an awesome job! everything is nice and clean!!! Loving every episode! Keep up the good work!

[@J3TPILOT]

saving up as we speak so I can afford to do a complete install to "possibly, if I can be bothered" enter an SQ comp. I will be using your techniques for most of my build. If it ever does happen I'll send you some picks of the build, also would rock a C.A.F. sticker with ya youtube channel for any comps. Awesome vids and don't stop em coming. From me here in Aus

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks man, you always comment on my vids! I appreciate it!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Nice what kind?

[@robotaustin12]

Flawless, Thats one of the cleanest installs I've seen. With a grand i would say screw trying to sell my car, sell one sub and hook other one up in my brothers car night before his birthday. Then i would by a b2 audio (dream woofer) subwoofer and use money i have saved up and go H.a.m

[@uctt24]

You should make a video on how to use card bored to measure the trunk space ect... For false walls, boxes, amp racks.

[@gtgoldfish]

Jus wondering if you have a video on how to build a subwoofer box ported into trunk access hatch in car...g37...im going to build a box ....thanks

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@CarAudioFabrication]

That sounds awesome man, would definitely get down. Make sure you give it plenty of port volume, do you have a design yet?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks man I would appreciate that, I have been meaning to get stickers made, if so Ill send some your way. For now just help me out by liking the vids and adding to your favorites!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yeah man, be sure to post pictures on my facebook! Thanks for watching!

[@candle2k]

Flawless. Damn, that build came together really clean. Nice work! And thanks for the vids and tips and tricks

[@corygilbert5666]

Flawless Fab man. I have a situation here, I am planning a build for a single cab truck, Specifically a 89 chevy 1500 single cab. I MUST fit 2 JL Audio 12W3v3s in the truck, and it needs a custom box, I was wondering if you would recommend letting the local shop (Big Daddy's)build one, or trying to build one myself with no prior experience. The Box must be ported, and hit as low as possible. Thanks!

[@soundwavesaudio1]

Love the way that set up looks. But the scrwes on the sub are killing it. Dont take it the wrong way I love your work. But all that hard work you put in to it, to have the sub screws look like that.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks for the ideas, this video was part of a whole build I did so some of the views of what this was covering can be viewed in my other videos, thanks for watching!

[@artrilliance]

Hey, this video is really great, you are very talented and this is super clean looking. Just a couple of pointers, if you don't mind me sharing my point of view. :) Before pictures would be really nice, maybe I missed it, but I didn't really understand what the wall was hiding. It would be really sweat to get a farther away view and slower panning of the finished product to really show what we are looking at and not so close up. Keep up the really great work!

[@vuvz10]

flawless! awesome work im gonna be using everything im learning from ALL of ur vids to make my beast.. learing some of the best techniques for my first ever build cheers!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yeah buddy! What are you working on lately?

[@BenTvHowman]

2 flawless builds in a row

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Awesome man! Thanks!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks! Appreciate the views!

[@ELGUERRO100]

FLAWLESS, happy that you are going to start a build on a truck i hope its a single cab,simply because the space you got to work with is small, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CUZ ITS FLAWLESS

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks sir Rafa!

[@jt76801]

Nice man, practically flawless I would say

[@Prynse1974]

Flawless, flawless, flawless

[@rogerh123]

Really nice design work! I also like the materials you use. Carpet and vinyl. Classy. You almost could say it's... FLAWLESS. :) I also like to put some glue on the backside, that way you only have to use staples in difficult corners.

[@wolfman5494]

Btw, what ever happened to the fiberglassforums? Its been down for a while i havent been able to get on.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Haha we know what on your mind! Haha jk, it kinda does, its the inside of the trim ring though. Thank you for watching

[@hcgarcia]

Hey Mark! cool video man, one question though, what happened to the rubber gasket on that Sundown sub? Kind of looks like hmm..? in your otherwise awesome work! just sayin..

[@liighthead]

hey mark :) could you do a video on a grill/cover for the sub? not far off doing 2 x 12"s in my little hatch ;) but i want to have a removable cover to hide them.. for more of a clean look (: cheers

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Such a PITA! Thank you for watching!

[@BowtieForLife420]

Flawless. What would I buy? Well id get my 15s reconed, better power and ground wire and an AQ 2200D

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thank you!

[@phxdonkey]

one more thing....any tips on doing the cardboard trick to shape the wall? or is it just as tedious as holding it up to the side and tracing it?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Sounds awesome. Hit me up on here or my website if you have questions.

[@gregorgman]

Flawless!! Professional!!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thank you! Be sure to watch my other videos, I think you will like them! Keep it loud!

[@bmxrideranton]

If i got $1000, I would get a flawless Rockford amp, a Sundown Sa-15, and build a box with plexiglass using the sweet techniques i've learned from your videos!

[@Sticksaudio]

Same here. and your vids are great, keep them coming. I always learn something from them.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Haha, its not that bad, practice pays off. Thank you for watching!

[@jaredwhite7378]

I have to ask, how did you get started in car audio?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Thanks!

[@EdgarRodguez67]

[@CeStomp1]

[@CarAudioFabrication]

[@CarAudioFabrication]

It is a Sundown SA8-V2

[@BigMackes]

love these videos! you da best bro

[@tricks1515]

Flawless dude. You are legend :) well done

[@ericchavez6053]

What size rabbeting bit do you use for the carpet

[@phxdonkey]

nice job. used to install about 10 years ago. never to this magnitude, usually simple enclosures and amp and deck installs. I now have an suv that id like to put my 2 12's in that are already in a ported box. the false wall is a great idea and I love the clean look. thinking of using vinyl instead of carpet to match my interior. its a big job for me since its been so long since ive installed but im looking forward to the challenge. just subscribed, ill be watchin more vids for more tips. thanks guys!

[@raulhdz704]

You are great. Thanks for shearing all this I been learning a lot

[@thatsharlin13]

Flawless! Awesome vid, extrodinarily informative! If you gave me $1000, that would be about R9000 since I'm in South Africa, and with that i would buy 2 sheets of 18mm MDF, Fiberglass chopmat, resin, fleece, a router table and circle jig. All this would be used for fabrication. For my sound i wound use a Targa TAG D1 pro amp, 2 Targa Street series 10" subs and 2 sets of Targa T-5021PC components running on a Targa 2000.4 amp and all hooked up with a Rockford RFK 4X wiring kit. Great work Mark :)

[@goryllahblak]

@CarAudioFabrications Flawless Victory!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@kylemullaly5532]

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Whoops dyslexic? Haha jk Thank you for watching!

[@Ohmywow_15]

i want to do my own but have no clue. where do i start?i will be watching more of your vids to teach myself the basics.
