covering sub enclosure


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am gathering supplies to build my box for two 10" subs to downfire beneath my back bench. The box is going to be made out of MDF. has anyone done anything unique for covering a box? i have the dark charcoal leather seats and i would really like for the box to blend in with that....perhaps color matched vinyl?

Duplicolor spray-on bed liner worked for me. Quick, easy and durable.

Going to throw this out there, mainly because this is what I want to do when I rebuild my boxes. What about carbon fiber or even diamond plate look-alike vinyl? It wouldn't blend in with your seats but it could look pretty kick-***.

 

If not, you could always go get some vinyl from a upholstery shop.

I'd like to find something as well - looking for a charcoal or "dark pewter" carpet that mostly matches the factory carpet. I've found spray-on fuzzy stuff, but I'd prefer carpet. Does anybody have a source for this stuff?

Look for scraps from carpet stores or installers, although if you find some you better be pretty good with glueing carpet, other wise it looks like crap. Ask how I know...

Ive found online sources for installer supplies, but none have the carpet I'm looking for - none have any carpet, as a matter of fact.

 

Does anyone have a source for installer's carpet for covering enclosures?

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
