its called a doubble baffle. it depends on the sub yu will be mounting, some people just like the securety of having that extra bit of wood for the screws to dig into, so they know their sub is safe. i dont really think its necessary for most subs, but if its heavy/expensive, i wouldnt risk the thinner wood, even though it would most likely be safe.
