Sub Box Build

[WhiteExpress]

My issue with buying online is if I get carpet, I want it to spot on match the carpet in the truck. I don't feel it'd do that. Got my screw holes all filled last night, quick sand today, then to the body shop for a free coat of high fill primer. We'll get it nice n smooth and bed line it!

Oh nice! Bedliner is good for anything! Haha but I'm with you on the online carpet, I also don't want to ripped off with some crappy felt that a company passes as carpet. That's why I'm searching in town first. But can box carpet also be bought at somewhere like JoAnn fabrics? Or someplace like that?

I used to buy it at PepBoys, they had tons of it, the one in Santa Fe had like 1 roll of ugly brown stuff. Barf! JoAnn's or Michael's in SF had carpet, hence I bought the Vinyl to see if I could make it work / liked it.

Once I get it 'smoothed' today I'll try pulling the vinyl over it, see if I like it. I'm thinking it'll get lined.

I have black interior so the stuff I bought from parts express worked fine.

I think I'm just going to order the carpet. In town sucks! Either going to be from parts express, amazon, or crutchfield.

Yeah the places in town blow! They're either too stupid, don't have anything you need, or complete crooks!

Finally got my carpet, feels more like felt, but it has a backing that'll be perfect for what I'm doing. I'll start after I get back from the gym. So like 7:20 (mountain).

 

[WhiteExpress]

I don't see any T-nuts to mount the sub....

 

[PCA4208]

Don't have the sub yet.
Making progress

 

[WhiteExpress]

I'm excited to see this complete. Buy a sub already! lol

 

[PCA4208]

I Really just want to. I want to have it done by Saturday, there is a car show then that I might want to go in.

 

[PCA4208]

Actually never mind about being in the car show. Cars and Coffee for the NM Mopar club is the same time. Anybody want to show off the RAM truck pride with me?

 

[WhiteExpress]

At Caffe Bella er whatever out in RioRathole?
Saturday AM?

 

[PCA4208]

HAHA, no its at Panera Bread on Paseo (or holley is what the map says). And yes Saturday at 9, its the MOPAR club one not the RSW.

 

[PCA4208]

I'm done for the night. this contact cement is getting me high off fumes. So all i have to do tomorrow is the sides and cut the holes.

Thats looking good. Where did you end up going for the carpet, amazon, parts express or crutchfield. I know you said it felt like felt, but are you happy with it?

 

[PCA4208]

You know I'm pleased with it. It's going to suit my needs perfect. I'm not looking to do any show worthy installs, *cough* UNBROKEN *cough*, plus almost nobody will see it. And I got the carpet from amazon, 4"x10" roll for like 18.50 flat.

 

[ramflava]

Looking great! I made need to clean the beast up and stop by the show!
