TheNewbie Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 So I'm brainstorming about how to do this build and I can't seem to find anything on lettering. I wanted to do. Vinyl but can't find out how to wrap it. So my options are carpet or bedliner, but regardless I want to put letters under the carpet/liner. I'm just curious as to how to go about it. Shall I buy the letters, or buy them etc? Any input is appreciated!

stroupe79 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 you want raised lettering under the carpet/vinyl correct?....if so you should cut out the lettering on 1/4" wood, don't think it would matter what type since its just for looks, and apply it to the box...then wrap the box starting with the lettering first and working out from there.. I have only wrapped with carpet, not experience with vinyl yet but I have read it is less forgiving and harder to manipulate than carpet if that helps at all http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewbie Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ahk, so you think I should make them? Time to go use One Ways tools at his house haha. Thanks for the response man.

stroupe79 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I just made an enlarged copy with my printer and then traced it onto the wood, cut it out with a jigsaw and sanded the edges, attached it to the box and then wrapped it... depending on how much detail the letters or logo your trying to do has could complicate things...making it larger will help a bit but you wont know til you try...lol http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroupe79 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 you could always buy a roll of carpet at the auto parts store for like $10 and practice on a couple pieces of wood before trying it on your box...to get the feeling and figure out the best ways to get the material tight around the letters http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
