[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 2391109, member: 554493"] No, in fact, it may sound different, but not better. Plywood is lighter than MDF, and is less dense. It tends to resonate more freely than MDF does, which is why most plywood boxes are braced more than an equivalent MDF enclosure. I don't recommend it for sub boxes. Speakers and/or sub enclosures that you are going to stain are good candidates. Otherwise, there really isn't any point. It's harder to cut (it can chip easily), but it routers like butter. If you think cutting circles in MDF is easy, just try plywood. It's like running your finger through sand. [/QUOTE]
