Would it help seal the internal part of the box if I stained it with a sealer or polyurethane? I have titebond 2, 1.75" wood screws and silicone wood trim caulk.you'll be fine. Even with all the voids it still way stronger than MDF and has better acoustical dampening properties and is way lighter.
The video I linked you with the guy doing tests on MDF vs cheapest pine ply already has data on it.
Also have angle of deflection tests here as well. MDF is weak and heavy. No sense in doing mdf unless you want a nice coat of paint.

It probably weighs 10 lbs total....very lightweight. The 12" sub weighs 24lbs....I hope this box can hold it!
