Carpeting my box

[ShaneSauce 2]

Okay guys I need some help.

I wanna order some speaker box carpet for my box but I have no idea how much I need...

My box is 30"wide, 24"deep, 13"high.

How many yards will I need?

What kind of adhesive should I use?

You will need just a hair over 2 yards, so you will probably need to order 3 yards to be on the safe side.

Make sure the carpet is at least 40" wide.

I use 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, works great.

Are you positive I will only need 3 yards?

3M is great glue, but if you want the absolute best glue i've ever found it's a second skin glue. Not even sure if they list it on their site, but I was amazed by it!

Yes

Carpet length = 2x depth + 2x height + a little extra to overlap to make the seam.

so 2x24 + 2x13 = 74 in

74/36 = 2.06 yrds

Width is your box width + height so your carpet needs to be at least 43" wide but I usually get the stuff that is 54" wide anyway.
