Make sure to spray paint the port hole black to gain +1 db, yellow +3 db, then strawberry red for +5 db.

Doesn't look bad for a first box...

I would recarpet when you get some free time..

Yeah I was kinda disappointed with how well I cut the carpeting, but overall I'm pleased. I cleaned up the edges a little more after the pics, but it's not great by any means. Thanks for the comments guys. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would never carpet one again..

This weekend I am going to cover a box I built in Turf grass, and thats just because, well I can..

Just paint your boxes from now on..

looks good..carpeting is a *****...

I was weary about paint because I had been told MDF was harder to prep for paint than carpet. I wish I had researched it more.

Doesnt look too shabby, pretty dam nice for a first try.

MDF is a breeze to setup, just hit with a orbital or belt sander.. I use Rage Gold to fill in gaps and to cover up the edges.. Prime and paint..

I use Krylon? or whatever from Walmart because they use an l shaped nosle instead of the standard O shape..

i'd try using a razor blade, like the thumbsized ones, to get a real clean cut, always works great for me. but nice job anyways.

That's exactly what I did use. I think the mistake was more in the cheap Wal-Mart carpet.
