Parts express speaker carpet...

[littleangrygiant]

me again. im gonna buy some speaker carpet from parts express. dilemma is, should i get the latex backed or the plain carpet? seems that the latex is more durable, but how does it compare to the plain stuff as far as installation?

I have never tried the PE carpet. I always bought mine from lowes or home depot. My best bet is get the thinest carpet you can get. The thicker it is, the harder to blend the edges. I really liked this type of carpet that was really thin and was carpet on both sides, so no backing. Use 3m spray glue or contact cement works. I have used other glues as well.

If you're working on curved or uneven surfaces, use the unbacked stuff, but if you're working on completely flat surfaces, the backed stuff is much easier to hid the seams with.
