it prob will distort as acoustic carpet allows the air moved by the speaker to pass through it, where as floor carpet i wouldnt think does.

As AustinPXX says u r nuts!!!!

not just accoustic cloth, accoustically transparent cloth...i dare say floor capet is designed to deaded sound as u dont wanna be hearing whats above or below (providing its in a house) too well.
fittin them on a stealth shelf is kinda strange.

Halfords sell carpet, motorworld do too. I got mine for £12 from a local motor factors - look in shops who sell sub enclosures - they normally sell it. I'd shop around for the perfect price and colour.
