Carpet match

I tried do a search on this a couple times but never found a definitive answer. I am building an amp rack for a '97 C-5 & would like to cover it in matching black carpet. Where can I buy carpet without heavy backing that will be the best match?

Thanks for your help.

there is an option for ordering non-molded by the yard carpet.

I believe if you call they will send you samples

Me personally, I didn't think the carpet was a perfect match, but it was close. Of course I have the black with the latex backing if that makes a difference. Definately don't get the latex backing on the carpet as it is a PITA to install on boxes and amp racks. Here is a pic of a Hangover box I done for a customer using the black. As you can see it matches closely, but the carpet pattern/texture wasn't the same and is a shade lighter.
