Wrapping custom subwoofer enclosure for four 10's!

Күн бұрын

One of the most important phases of any custom car audio project is the upholstery. Your subwoofer enclosure may look incredible in its raw wood form, but if once you wrap the box you have wrinkles or gaps in the upholstery it wont look right. So in todays video we are going to a wrap a large subwoofer enclosure, and its going to be a challenge because quite a bit of it is one solid piece of vinyl, but we will also be using carpet. Ive got a ton of tips for you along the way, lets get started!

Ok, wow. Thank you for posting this. I'm only 3/4 way through the video and I've learned so much. Would you be willing to post information related to the specific tools you used to flatten the vinyl and press it into place? I've just... used my fingers up to this point. Seems you have a much, much better solution for that. Thank you again!

Nope because you just throw away the tip. Takes like 30 seconds to clean.

I recommend finding an upholstery shop near you so you can see the product up close and personal. Or if you find a seller on Amazon or somewhere else, they will gladly send you various samples. Often for free. Also don’t cheap out when selecting material. You get what you pay for.

I wish to have it built for my Frontier 2022. Do you have schematics that I can have as a point of reference? One note: my truck also have that hump. Nice job Mark! That looks as it were factory designed! You are the best!

Hi, thanks for the video. I signed up to instagram but couldn’t find the video where you made the groove for the carpet / vinyl. Is it possible to cut that groove after the box is constructed?

@chadclark3147 2 ай бұрын

I'm doing an enclosure very similar to this for a silverado and i used your technique for the rounded corners. Turned out great! I've built plenty of boxes but always carpeted them. This will be my first time wrapping one with vinyl. My question is, how perfect does the mdf underneath need to be? Will imperfections show through the vinyl? I put some bondo around the rounded edge and sanded it smooth, because I really don't want the rings to show through. Am i doing too much? Does it need to be smooth like if i was going to paint it? Thanks again!

My question is why did you get away from using different types of foams to emboss and create different designs in your upholstery techniques?

@poopandfartjokes Жыл бұрын

I don’t think the details hold up over time. It looks crisp when you first do it, but after being in a vehicle and going through heating and cooling cycles, it just won’t stay looking clean.

A local upholstery supply place. Your best bet is to run a google search. It would be like asking where I get my MDF, a local source is what you need.

If it’s for your car, only use the Landau top and trim. The regular won’t hold up in a vehicle. Trust me on that one.

Thanks....Will do! I am building a console and I love your 1/8 groove for a transition. I want to use that idea going from outside to inside and the underneath side of the lid. I am a long time wood worker but not exactly sure how to run that groove on some curved pieces? I can use a curved template but not sure the bit? And the top is actually bent to a curve...any thoughts/videos on a groove on an arched piece? Any links to the welting?

This is like asking what MDF I use. Its essentially a raw material that is going to vary based on the vehicle you are trying to match. I'd recommend finding an upholstery supplier near you for the best deals and availability.
