    subwoofer box
    carpet
    headliner spray adhesive
    utility knife
    rolling pin

    all i used was:
    utility knife
    sawhorses
    spray glue
    roller

    mine isnt exactly expert but no one can tell without looking at the side that i would have to take it apart to tell...basically just start on your biggest side and start wrapping like a christmas present...worked fine for me =)
