help nic design a new sub box

[acarmody]

Bunnings sell it.

Any place that makes sub boxes will have some.

I have only seen marine carpet at Bunnings, it has a very thick backing on it (plasticy?) and doesn't bend well unless you heat the back with a cigarette lighter or something similar, heat gun etc

I'm sure my local Bunnings has the right stuff. Maybe I'm just lucky

Head down to your local carpet store and buy the flushest, fluffiest stuff you can get. Now you have a box that sways with the bass. LOL.

Have a hunt around on eBay etc, might get lucky. Or as Acarmody said, head to a carpet shop or spotlight, find some cool carpet/fabric and cover it in that. Could look cool and end up cheap-ish too.

if you dont read my ride thread then you wouldnt know how much wood i ended up buying so..

i got 4 sheets of 2400mmx1200mm, the guy at bunnings calculated how much i need and he said 3 would just be enough so i got 4 just in case i stuff it up and he said if i dont end up using it i can take it back anyways,

i want some wood left so i can seal the doors

good work mate, but you will want something thinner (3mm or 6mm) mdf for the doors.

so i just about finished my drawings on the wood and i don't even need anywhere near 3 peices of wood hehe, worked out i only needed 1 and a bit

so i fitted like all the peices except the side 2

hopeing to start cutting 2morro morning

Good work mate, how thick is it? Are you making the front baffle 2x thick?
