What the AI looks for in Speaker Carpet & Vinyl

Backing and stretch
Choose unbacked or stretch carpet for boxes with curves or tight corners. Stiff backed carpet will not wrap edges cleanly.
Adhesive compatibility
Use a spray or contact adhesive rated for heat, such as a headliner or high-temperature contact cement, especially in vehicles. Trunk heat makes ordinary adhesives release, and the covering lifts.
Material quantity
Order the box's total surface area plus margin for wrapping edges and cutting out openings. Seams in the middle of a panel look poor and peel first.
Vinyl thickness and texture
Use heavier textured vinyl or tolex for cabinets that are carried and stacked. Thin smooth vinyl scuffs and tears at the corners.

Brands that matter

  • Install Bay: Car-audio installation supplies, including box carpet.
  • Mojotone: Guitar amp and cabinet tolex and coverings.

What to avoid

  • Household carpet remnants that are too thick to wrap edges
  • Water-based craft glue in a hot vehicle
