im finaly finish with my enclosuer the only thing i need to do it carpet it....my question is how? what should i use to glue it? but my main question is, with all the curves and angles how should i tackle this? do i take one big peice of carpet and glue it on? should i cut out peices of carpet and place them along the curves? should i even bother carpeting the back of the box where noone is going to see it....i havent really found any advice as far as carpeting goes. if it was a simple squire box i could jus glue it and put it on, but with the curves and all im just confused
Without seeing this box or having any dimesions I don't know how this will work in your case.
However, I find the simplist way is use a quality spray adhesive. Now if you use trunkliner it will be easier to hide any seams but either way to will need a strechable carpet material. start at the center of the enclosure and spray 2'' section on it and the back of the carpet. Let it tack a minute or so and carefull lay the carpet over the enclosure. Depending on the size of the enclosure I would imagine you could do it with one piece.
Now just work your way until the exposed areas of the enclosure are covered, carefully stretching it as you glue. On areas that will overlap you have to fold it tight and use a sharp razor and slice along the center of the fold. Open the fold and remove the excess. Then lightly reglue and the 2 sides should fit together with a nice seam. Now this does take practice to perfect so you might want to try it on something else first, It takes time to learn to do this correctly.
The other option is to make seperate trim panels, carpet those and assemble it to the enclosure.
When using non stretch materials and you have alot of curves and sharp angles sometimes it requires stitching to avoid wrinkles and to make clean seams.
Hope I helped somewhat.

thnx master it sounds easy i hope it is, im going to post some pictres ina little bit, im just concerned about the corners and all.....
Your welcome. I understand your concern with the corners. Like I said it takes some practice.
Try to buy extra stretch carpet or if any is on sale etc. use this to practice a few times. I don't reccomend to practice on your enclosure because the adhesive make it tough to remove any mistakes. Find something with corners and once you figure out how to do it neat you can attempt the one for your vehicle.
Just remember that the areas that won't be seen are the least important so focus on the exposed areas primarily and cut away the bulk in areas that are hidden. And keep plenty of fresh razors handy, for some reason cutting carpet wears them out surprisingly quick and if you try to make a seam with a dull razor it will not look good.
