OK, so i have a question that may sound stupid, does wood thickness of the box make a difference in sound and overall bass response?

yes thin wood will flex killing your sound quality and make it sound real sloppy

3/4" MDF is most commonly used. the 5/8" MDF is good for under 1kw systems. You will still need bracing on the inside of the box no matter what thickness you choose. you can double up on the baffle to help with flexing also.

those G5's will kill a .5" thickness box. you will need at the very least 3/4"
Darn right, 3/4 MDF is the least I will use on anything. No need to save $5.50 a sheet, then cry 2 weeks later because you cracked it at a corner.
On a box like that, I would say 1/2" material would be ok. The panels are relatively small in size. If you use 1/2", just be sure to properly brace it and I bet you will be just fine.
