Joby Winfrey Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've always been curious as to if carpeting a box just helps aesthetically, or if it helps acoustically as well.? All input will be respected and honored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joby Winfrey Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 What sealant/paint should I use then? I know MDF is supposed to be hard to paint because it soaks it up quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joby Winfrey Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 So, would carpeting the box make any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crandis16 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 it makes it look purdyyy, it gives your box some clothes so that it's not so naked. That's pretty much the most that you will get out of it lol Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
