View Full Version : HELP - Laying Stereo Carpet
I have 3 sub set up in my car. One 12 and two 10's. I have all the wood layed out and I need to put some stereo carpet on. I have found some and now all I need to do is lay it, and there lies my problem. I need to lay over the subs and cut out perfect circles for the 3 subs, i dont know how i would do that, I have never done this before so I need some help from anyone who has some sugestions/comments. I dont need to be put down or critisized about it because I have never done it before. Here are 3 pics of the car!
Thanks guys

Carpet your box without the subs installed in it. Pick up a can of carpet glue, or gorilla snot, or whatever its called nowadays. Carpet right over the holes for the subs, then cut them out with a razor blade when it dries.

yah take your subs out when you lay the carpet
just lay it on top of the holes and cut them out after
another option is to stretch the carpet around and staple it but it looks like your box is in there pretty good so your best bet would be to glue it
The sides come off and so does the bottom. Should I do it all with one big peice or individual? Wont the staples show if you did it?
with the glue that plp are suggesting you shouldn't need the staples, also if you can take apart the box it may be easier to carpet that way but if you do you may have some gaps depening on how good the box fits together.
I'm looking at the pictures and was wondering if the boxes are sealed?
Each sub is sealed off in its own box. The subs as it is right now are not screwed into place yet, I was wondering if you carpet first or if you carpet all as one piece. But as it is now everything can come apart so thats why I made this, so I dont screw anything up and waste $90 in carpet HAH
Can it all come out as one piece?
No, the two side subs are in the wood housing that come out because I havent nailed them in yet. The frame itself is about 150 pounds and isnt going anywhere.
Take a couple pics of the pieces with them out

3M super 77 worked for my sub boxes
The boxes are not sealed at all. They need to be in a fully seal box, or vented properly. I would first fix that up
