How To Carpet A Subwoofer Box At Home With No Special Tools

In this video we go over a way to carpet a subwoofer enclosure in just a few minutes with no special tools. This is not the only way to carpet enclosures, in fact its not how I carpet most enclosures. However, most anyone can carpet these enclosures at home with this method. Don't settle for a prefab enclosure when you can carpet one cheap!

Smiley cuts at the end, so good. I would have never figured that out! Thanks!

[@Allan.509]

Yeah I've never seen that method.. really smart I was thinking maybe he was messing up then I realized the genius

[@jayweb702]

This man is a genius! Thanks so much! Oh and I've seen many speaker builds from many reputable KZbinrs and you give some of the most comprehensive common sense!

[@jackglowacki8715]

This is by far the most organised video of this I’ve seen.

[@ATCA]

I doubt that. Lmao. It was hard to get everything on camera without being in the way.

[@LHELT464]

I had no clue where to even start with this but that’s beautiful, thanks man this helps so much 🙏🏼

[@tsmith296]

Thanks for taking the time to go over those last cuts. Couldn't quite understand but I got it now!

[@ATCA]

They are the hardest part!

[@jefffinke8225]

Never having done this before, when you cut out the first smiliey i was like, what the hell? Lol thanks for the great video man. Helped my brain understand how this works without overlapping carpet.

[@jerrodrollins1509]

Excellent job mister! I have always had pretty decent skills when it comes to wrapping Christmas presents, but of course when it comes to a project like this, avoiding overlapping is crucial. I really like how you kept it perfectly flat by precision cutting on the ends. This video is definitely going to assist me with installing the new felt outer lining on my box so I can get it sold. Thank you for the video! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge 👊🤘🤙

You sir should be an instructor for this line of work. Very rarely have I followed a KZbin " instruction manual" that worked the very first time. You have made it into my very small and exclusive "EXPERTS" category of instructional videos. BRAVO!!! Thank you so much! You have made me very happy with my finished product, and if I'm happy with it, my son is really going to be impressed! You have helped make this a Christmas present to remember!🤙🤘

Could u share link where u bought carpet cloth

[@bradking9374]

glad you can see the seem..i couldnt lol

[@carloszarate8148]

Tight

[@raylo4074]

Very nicely done. One thing that seems to be missing is how to size the piece of carpet before you start working so that the flaps are the size you need them to be. My first attempt I had way too much material and ran into a lot of difficulty.

[@ATCA]

I usually just buy a $10 piece from Amazon. Whatever size that is

[@raylo4074]

I don't mean what you buy, but how you size it for the particular box. My box is more rectangular than square so those end cuts are harder. If the flaps aren't in the ballpark it just turns into a mess. On my second attempt the flaps were too short in the long axis, so another fail. @@ATCA

[@MiguelEduardo2090]

Does the carpet do somenthing with the acoustics? I mean, what happens if the box is not carpet? It affects the sound of the speaker?

[@robbypro3370]

Same as wrapping a present

[@aaronmcdevitt1166]

I just tried my first one and have glue showing on all the seams and some other spots. Looks like it's better to only glue the box to avoid glue showing in the seams. But I tried the utility knife method with a new blade, and it took several passes and some tearing to get it to cut. Any special tips for getting a knife to cut through on one or two passes??

[@ATCA]

Oddly enough, a sharp knife is the secret. those blades last only a few cuts. Lots of pressure. I used to freak out about glue on the edges. However, skill will keep the glue where it needs to be, and goo gone will clean up the edges. Just keep trying. More force when cutting, and goo gone for edges. Works a treat

[@fatboy6154]

I wanna know how many people did the smiley and ended up throwing the box lol

[@ATCA]

This is a fairly small box. Most boxes may be larger than this. I'd imagine a bigger box may be harder to throw

[@Cher007]

Hey Trevor, i'm doing my box tomorrow. How would you do the fabric (in my case leather) around the port in a box with a little more power (4 12"s) - so it doesn't peel on the first low notes?

[@ATCA]

If you seal it like i did with polychylic and lay the glue on both pieces and lay it on thick, it should hold. The only other option is to make the box with one baffle, then make a second baffle and rabbit the inside of the port about 1/16. Then your material can be glued and tucked into that rabbit groove

[@Cher007]

@@ATCA Thanks for the advice, i did it today and it looks decent :)
