Upholstery - Carpeting Subwoofer Box.

A video demonstrating how I carpet my fiberglass sub boxes. I am no expert at this but there is not much info about this kind of upholstery available. So I thought this is better then nothing.

The carpet used is unbacked automotive carpet. If its unbacked its pliable to bend to curves etc.

A box made with MDF is different. Edges means you have to have seams showing.

How do you make the mold to make that sub box? If it fiberglass put over plastic in the trunk then molded over to get the final item?

@ajdgamer You talking about a different type of mold and is not covered in these videos.

Good upload, thanks for this. There really isn't enough material on custom carpeting.

[punk28186]

agreed

How do you get the carpet to shrink in the corners and not bunch up?

He's no expert, but he's got sub carpeting on a roll???

[williebeaty]

does it matter if a sub box is carpeted or not? does it make any sound difference?

@ajdgamer He probably starts with an empty trunk, fiberglasses about 4 layers of the negative side. Once that hardens he takes it out and makes a speaker ring out of mdf. He holds the ring in place with dowels or scraps of wood and then covers with a stretchy material. the fiberglasses over the top a few layers, and then fiberglasses the inside. He bondo's and sands the box to create a perfect master, and then makes all other boxes from this master. I'm guessing.
