Since the search doesn't work for me, I'm trying to carpet my box but everywhere I go people are charging me $60-70 to carpet the box for me. They wont sell the carpet to me either. So does anyone know what websites I can get carpet for my box for cheap? I live in san diego, ca if anyone knows what store to buy carpet for cheap, let me know.

 

I got mine from www.partsexpress.com. Part # is 260-765 (Cabinet Carpet Charcoal). Matches the turnk fairly well on my 97, but it's not perfect. I think it was like $3.90 per yard and the width was something like 54 inches. So I got a 9' x 4 1/2' section of carpet for around $12 if I remember correctly. More than enough to cover any box. Shipping was round $6 so the total came to $18. Might be able to get it cheaper somewhere else, but it was shipped quick, so I was happy.

 

yup thats where i got mines www.partsexpress.com

 

partsexpress nice place to shop when u build your own boxes and systems ........

 

you should check what else u need there like banana plugs and wire and stuff to save on shipping

Too bad that's a bad website.

 

Why? You had a bad experience?


There's ALWAYS someone who has had a bad experience with ANY company.

I guess if you don't feel like waiting for carpet to be shipped, you could try your local audio shop. They usually have large rolls that they sell by the foot. Thats where I get mine.

 

yeah, your local audio shop should have them. if not, there's always www.crutchfield.com

 

No - never dealt with them before - the link just didn't work at all earlier today.

Seems fine now.

 

Like sadice said, you should really think about what you're gonna need when building a box or just for spares or future projects. I had to pay for two shipments cause I needed other parts after I got the carpet.. The stuff their is pretty cheap too.

 

thanx guys, that was a real good website. the only downside I see is I have to pay shippin but thats always expected but other than that, There was this one other site where you can buy plexiglass and had other building box materials also including carpet. anyone know a website like that?

again, thanx guys, have been a real help here

 

www.lowes.com Pick up some MDF at your local Lowe's or Home Depot and go to a car audio shop near you and get some carpet.

 

For carpeting I always go to my local carpeting store.

The audio shops always seem to not have exacty what I'm looking for. The carpet places have hundreds to choose from. Different colors, varying thicknesses and different patterns and so on and so forth. FWIW, partsexpress is a very reliable company. I've bought many things from them, but I'm always leary about buying something I want to color-match over the Internet.
