How To Carpet a Custom SubWoofer Box for Beginners
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 кві 2020
- I have finally built my custom subwoofer enclosure. It will be fully functional to use it like it is but it sure doesn't look very good. There are many ways you could cover your subwoofer enclosure like simply painting it or using a truck bed liner for a really rugged look. I prefer to use speaker enclosure carpet because it gives you a nice professional look and like it belongs in your trunk. Carpeting your box can be a bit intimidating at first but I found this method of carpeting to not be that hard to do. You will have few seams on the sides and bottoms but will be hardly noticeable when done right. There are more advanced ways to carpet an enclosure that hides the seams better but does require the box to be built in a certain way. I just found this to be the simplest way and still looks great! Thanks for watching, stay safe and have fun!
Disclaimer: Work on your speaker enclosure at your own risk. You are solely responsible for your own actions. Always use proper safety equipment for the job.
Tip: always use a new razor edge for each cut. It will give you the cleanest lines

I hate carpet. Duratex is awesome. Once you use Duratex, carpet is gross.
I think i woud just glue cat fur on the box....more simple...
Great video man. For a better, more durable connection, run 2 good bolts with washers and nuts for your terminal. Small dab of sealant and you're good!
Stodoys plans is a good solution for every woodworker.
Good simple tips. I have been doing this for 30 years. I can make a good enclosure but still can't carpet worth a hell to save my life.
How big of peice of carpet was that? I am having the hardest time figuring out how much i need for my box. I am horrible with math and that stuff is expensive!!
Thank you, Just followed along to carpet my second box :) Didn't turn out the best but at least its not a MDF eyesore
Total box space how much black carpet design sir ??
Hi! Where are you located? I have a speaker that needs to be re-carpeted and am looking for someone in the Los Angeles area. You did such a great job!
That terminal will be enough to handle the power coming to the sub?
This is a great video, shows the more realistic side of DIY box construction. Basic spray adhesive and simple tools, this is where it's at.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Gangster! Straight to the point
Great vid!!
Good job dude!!!
On the back of the box spray you could paint the box black where you plan on slicing the material. This way should the material open up or shrink the gaps will be harder to notice because the wood will be black.
Awesome video thanks...
Great video!!!
Best video on UA-cam period. Everything I was needing to know in one place.
