[QUOTE="CheЯRyMan, post: 8309493, member: 662580"] OSB would be a terrible choice. MDF weighs 92 ibls per sheet and is your best option economically because its true and straight and heat will not warp it and sandable. Birch is great but is not sand friendly and it does tend to chip and splinter and you have to mask off your cuts when sawing. Ill be building a POW tribute laser etched lexan box next and Ill be using Black Diamond MDF which is a mdf made out of Black fibers its 30% stronger because of the resin used to bind the fibers. It will not have to be painted and a coat of polyurethane brings out the shine and the looks inside the glass sub face will be reflect nicely off the black interior with the red Leds if it gets scratched or gouged just sand it away. The down side is its 76.00 per sheet and with shipping and pallet charge 3 pcs costs me 420.00. Not very much if you consider what is being spent these days on car audio.
