how did the carpet job go?? any problems?

you use sticky stuff, or staple gun and sticky stuff?? what kinda stick did you use?

Well man I get off work around 10:20. As for spray man and staple gun I didn't have so I used small nails and some blue can spray adhesive called apro or something like that.

hey whatever works... for the future... the 3M super from Home Depot works awesome!! its kinda pricey, but worth it IMO... tacks up within 60 sec, and gets stronger from there

Yeah I know man I've used it before but I stopped using it because even though I had a gas mask on the smell of that adhesive some how effected me. It made my heart race and put me in the hospital for two days

September 28 , 2008: Well guy's sry for the delay but had to fix my truck well thought i fixed it but still not now door bushings went in driver door. But I got my girl's setup done. Here is pics like i promised sry took so long guys. Also i know the cut out edges on amp cut out arent best im not all that great with a jigsaw especially at 9 a.m.

Layed the carpet over top piece to get a measurement



Cut out sub hole & also amp cut out glueing plexi



Used Dupro Spray-adhesive & small nails that can hide easily clampn down another side for it to dry.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif



My friend Brandon Helpn me spray adhesive one of the side's while i was hammering in the nails on other side(not pictured lol).



Oh yeah u know you like the weight i use to push down the plexi when glueing haha.



First Test fit with carpet but w/o the box being built around sub on base(much thanks to mikey b for reminding me about that i almost looked right over it).



Made the box for around the sub to seal it off from rest of the floor the spare was the weight on this one lol.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Looks great, I'd still peel the carpet back and clean up those cuts around the amp cuttout though, but I'm picky. Other than that, get a nice grill for the sub, and you got a nice install dude!

Thanks man yeah man it's actually not the cut's in the carpet sadly it was how i messed up on cutting with the jigsaw. Also man that pos rf grille sry hate that thing lol will be replaced with a bar grille from ebay. But thanks man i dont think came out half bad at all for being my first ever false floor install.
