[QUOTE="fshanda, post: 5867864, member: 587331"] Your box looks nice for a first timer. I know Im going to want some more power when I get my boys setup finished. I tested it out in the shop yesterday with 1400 watts and his sub just laughed at it. Just so you know, thats not MDF, its particle board. MDF is a light to medium brown board, hard as a rock, more of a compressed milled paper product than wood. Particle board will also soak up water like a wick and blow up (swell). I have had pieces in my parking lot swell up to twice its original thickness. MDF will **** up a little moisture but nothing to be concerned about. You already noticed the other problem with particle board, it warps. Its not nearly as stable as MDF. If you do make another box later on make sure to get some MDF. [/QUOTE]
