Sub Box Carpeting
- Thread starter Bones526

the cuts are about the width of the table saw blade (obviously you do them before you slap the box together!) and aboutas deep as they are wide. Don't want to take off too much, seen? I used adhesive to slap the carpet down onto the piece and then tuck the excess into the ridge. Then you take a utility knife, razor etc. to trim it in the ridge and finish tucking it with a flat head screwdriver or something like that.

The cuts go right at the edge of the side pieces(since they are interior). You can do it with a router table or a router edge jig as well, I just did it with a table saw because we had one available!
I forgot to mention, this technique was taught to me by none other than 1sty. It's pretty much how he does it on the boxes he builds...very neat and tidy. It'll be even easier when I rebuild my box without the angled face (and ported of course...).
It's also good to add one cut to the bottom or back piece so you can cut the excess from stretching the carpet over the other 4 faces.

Mine is slightly ghetto but it gets the job done nicely. You can't see it from the outside.
just look in my sig. Wait for the sound line to roll up to the last thing. It shows my trunk install and how the copper looks. It was cold when we bent it, though, and it wound up pinching. It isn't too bad...I do like how it ended up looking, but I'll have a new box in the spring, so it really doesn't matter!
