I'm gonna build a dual 12" sealed box with about 4 cubes of space. I know most boxes are built with 3/4" thick MDF, but what would the difference be if I used 1" thick MDF? Do you think it would sound much, if any better?

In short, there was a future to live for--and they detonated it anyway."

"Sane power"...well put

I usually always just use 3/4" and brace the box fairly well. If its a big box, like 5+cubes, then I just tend to spend the extra and use 1". Why? Just out of habit I guess - I have yet to notice that significant of difference. Although it does tend to cut down on flexing, which is a big
