carpeting sub box

[benny mckellar]

hi this may be a dumb question but does carpeting the sub box improve the sound or is it just for looks i'm putting a sub in next to the fuel tank in my ute and was wonderin if its a waste of time carpeting

As long as the box is constructed properly, it's purely for looks. (it's amazing what kind of box construction sins can be covered by carpet...)

I reckon being that this box is for a ute, just a few good coats of some kind of sealer (oil based undercoat would work fine) so it doesn't absorb moisture and you'll be good to go.

Best of luck!

Phreddys right, in your instance I wouldn't carpet that puppy....but I would seal it.
