For my box I used the automotive carpet they sell at wall-mart. I think I only used about one roll, maybe 2, but if I remember they were only about $7 a piece. Plus you will need to buy some of that 3M spray adhesive that is like $10 a can. Makes laying the carpet down real easy as opposed to any other glue.

if you want to see pictures of what I did, they are at http://www.cardomain.com/id/shockersregal

As I just purchased myself some carpet and spray glue for my box. I was wondering if you guys can give me any tips and or tricks in applying my carpet.

i just did mine a few days ago with 2 friends. it's pretty easy, just take your time and plan how u will do it ahead of time.

1. spray wood AND carpet

2. let the adhesive tack for 1-3 minutes (should say on can)

3. do one side at a time

4. keep it tight and nice, i used a wallpaper roller on each side to make sure it was flat.

5. and i just cut 2 end pieces, cuz i didn't want 45degree cuts going to middle.

you can barely see it cuz my carpet blends
