Amp Rack- Carpet or Vinyl?

Post by AVICJR »

Should I carpet or wrap my amp rack in vinyl? As of right now it's going to be carpeted to match my trunk.

vinyl is much less forgiving to hide imperfections.

If you have leather interior then I'd do vinyl depending on where it's going, otherwise carpet is the way to go.

I sometimes will cover in vinyl if a piece has some cool contours to it and I want to show off the times, or I sometimes will paint it. If you want it perfect you could always have a body shop paint it or an upholstery shop cover it.
A few of these and a few of those.

I found a carpet that matches my trunk perfect. Made an amp rack that acts as a false wall in the front of the trunk. Other than the small sealed sub box, you cant see anything in my trunk. I like it, its clean. The rear seat folds and locks with ignition key so its still accessible.

I was going to agree with you because its cold as hell here but I thought that was because you sent all yer cold air down to us? My dog was lucky I love her and had some crap on my mind that I needed to get out of the house so I walked her.

I imagine walking your dog isn't as necessary up there since its pulling your sled huh? :)
