Okay, in the next month or two I will be buying and installing some full-length sub connectors on my vert.

Do I need to lift up my carpet before I weld them in? I'm wondering if the welds are only 1 inch each spaced by one inch, what are the odds of me scorching the carpet?

I don't really want to lift the carpet if I don't have to. I've had a hard time in the past with getting carpet to lay down correctly after I've been screwing around with it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I agree, i had the standard length subframes welded in with no problems scorching the carpet.
