Carpeting



Now the craft bit!

Roll and cut to length a piece of the acoustic carpet for each speaker board, remembering to leave enough to overlap the rear of the boards.

Spray a good coating of the adhesive onto the wood and work quickly but carefully to lie the board on the carpet. now pull the carpet tight around the back of the board and use another small amount of spray on the overlapping area. Next take the staple gun and apply staples evenly around the edges of the rear of the board to hold the carpet firmly in place.

Few.

Do the same with the other side, but make sure you keep the carpet taut as you staple it in place, or it will sag on the outside face.

It gets a lil trickier now...

Time to cut the holes for the speakers. I found it was easiest to cut small triangles out of the circle, with points towards the perimeter, leaving enough material to fold over the edge of the wood. (see pic).


Next staple the edges in place.


And admire from the front.

Repeat the step for the tweeters if being fitted.
