unless you have made a sterling job of constructing the box then use black carpet or itll look crap

[breezer]

Im sorta a perfectionist! So waddya think ;)

[jaxx]

well carpet is extremely good at hiding imperfections as everything else will show it up, so you decide

[breezer]

I will! Just cin wat ppl like best

[jaxx]

the best is GRP sprayed to match the cars colour :D

tum tee tum...........whistle whistle!

[breezer]

GRP?

[1NZ-FE T SPORT]

Black carpet is the easiest & best to use...

[jaxx]

GRP = glass reinforced plastic = fiber glass

an absolute swine to work with but looks incredible if done right!

[breezer]

ah right! i like the subs you can get in perspex boxs with neons! but the ones i seen werent as powerful as i wud have liked!!

[jaxx]

perspex is also a crap material to make a sub box with!

[breezer]

Nooooo not fully perspex, jus the front bit, the sub was inside and perspex covered the whole front end

[jaxx]

well in that case its just a 'viewing' window.

perspex has got no acoustic properties what-so-ever!

[breezer]

ok! :group-cuddles:

lol!

so what would be the best for my sub box, going on acoustic properties?

[jaxx]

mdf or if you can stretch out then birchwood, which is better and lighter and doesnt have to be as thick

[breezer]

i hav MDF, the box is made! Jus wonderin bout whatever i cover it with! lol

[jaxx]

carpet!

[breezer]

Righty oh! I have some black ICE carpet like B)

[jaxx]

phew!..........

[breezer]

jus need to iron it, il get the lass to do that! As long as i dont get an iron mark on it :o

[cokg2]
