Can I reupholster my sub box?

I searched "reupholster" and nothing came up.
Is there anyway that I can take my sub box apart, reupholster the panels, and then put it back together. In theory I could, but the glue is the only thing I'm not sure about.
The reason I'm asking is I reupholstered the carpeted trick door floor I made with black vinyl and want the box to match. I have thought about making a new box but I really don't want to waste my current one when it still sounds great.
If you pics would help jsut ask

Just rip the carpet off. Then put new carpet on.

thanks guys. I had not looked at it from the stand point of not taking apart, but now that I did I think it will be possible

you don't need to take your box apart, just rip the carpet off and put the new material on

PopcornPlaya is a splendid one to behold

Don't waste your money on the expensive 3m spray clue, the lower line works just as well. Personally, I use HVLP grade contact adhesive and spray it on with an air sprayer, but one box doesn't justify buying everything to do that.

Check the DIY in the sticky about carpeting for some helpful tips as well.
