How much volume are you really saving by the time you build up your fiberglass enough to add strength? Do you suppose that would make an audible difference?Yeah, if that means the difference in making volume spec why not?
Ouch. Lumber has at least doubled this past year across the board. But at least everybody is getting """free""" money to not work.65.00 4x8 sheet

Awesome, thanks guys!
You must be one of those suckers that actually works, saves, and invests.I sure wish I seen even a cent of the stimulus package lol
Psychosomatic benefits could be said to be priceless.Just buy the 13 ply Baltic Birch. The peace of mind is worth the extra money. IMHO!

Now I defy you to show some data which would support the idea that 3/4" meme plywood would outperform 3/4" sanded pine (with or without """cabinet grade""" veneer), 3/4" MDF, 3/4" OSB, or even 3/4" particle board by any significant metric for OP's application. You'll be harder pressed to even imply any benefit whatsoever which could not be more cheaply achieved through other methods used with one of the less expensive alternative lumber types in ANY application.
I looked at the local Lowe’s for 3/4 sanded pine, they only sell 4x4 sheets.
ill have to call around and see what’s available from lumberyards, the only problem is they are usually pricy :/
In Vegas, you can get the good 1" MDF for $63 per 4' x 10' sheet. Just look for some good ¾" MDF and run with it. I'm running a single layer ¾" MDF in a 3,000 watt box that is sufficiently braced.
Mdf is just mdf. You don't need to paint it for strength, but make sure it doesn't get wet.Wow.
what’s considered “good MDF”, any High Density MDF?
aside from cuts, do you have to paint or epoxy/etc the MDF for structural strength or use as is?

Well certainly someone who is impartial as to how much money you spend. Show me some hard data from real-world measurements of what difference we can expect from taking your advice. Once you quantify the performance difference than everybody can judge whether or not the extra money is worth the improvement in real world utility.I buy my lumber for subwoofer boxes from a local lumber salesman.
I have used that or similar from the big box stores with good results.Looking at HD, is this a good wood?
So show us some Termlab or RTA measurements illustrating the difference we can expect to see depending on which type of MDF we use.Wrong!
