ummmmmmm, get sumone to show you haha.
one hint, when you have to put 2 edges together, you should overlap them, and cut through both pieces , then pull out the cut piece on the bottom an top, voila, perfect edges. k, i know your not going to understand that, but i tryed.

i know exactly what intensim1rider is talking about but yeah its hard to explain online. carpeting is one of those things that you have to do 1000 times and even after youve done it that many times....u still will suck at it! lol its very tricky, i can tell you that, but good luck!

Hey check out this site. Basic Car Audio Electronics They have a wealth of knowledge and even some info on covering enclosures. They discuss the method that intensem1rider was talking about. I would say that covering enclosures is one of the hardest steps in a system because it is what everyone sees. If you do a sh*tty job than they will see it. If it looks good, it could cover up a minor flaw. I would agree with the others though that it takes practice more than anything. But hey, one of the very first boxes I ever built, when I was probably 16 or 17 was the best I ever made in my opinion. You never know I guess.

By the way, on that link, scroll down on the right side to topic #110 and you will get to the covering info. You will see a lot of other good info on there too.
