Well...my Buddy Was Saying He Would Never Use Mdf Again B/c You Have To Pre Drill The Holes And On Partical Board Ya Don't And He Said That Mdf Cracks Way To Easy Compared To Partical Board....

Particle board is total shit. MDF is rough on tools and does tend to smash easily. It isn't bad if you just glue and nail-gun seams.

I prefer birch ply as it's pretty solid, easy on tools, and much lighter. If you brace properly you will not have any flexing issues. And believe me MDF will flex as much as anything with un-braced high power.

The best wood are just 2x4's. I just dovetail them and slide them together with a little glue. No box flex and only the best enclosure for my pups.

Mdf is best. You won't put up any better numbers because you used some special kind of wood that someone said was better than Mdf. Keep it simple!

that is as far from actual truth as possible. 11 or 13 ply void free cabinet grade birch is more "accoustically dead" than any man made wood is like mdf . we use mdf because it is 1/2 the cost and just as easy to work with.
