You can't really stain an mdf box. If you want to paint it a gloss black it is a multi-step process. You will need a few coats of primer (the mdf absorbs alot of paint). Then you will need mulitple coats of good gloss paint, sanded with extremely fine wet sandpaper inbetween the coats. It isn't a particularly difficult process, just time consuming.

There are plenty of quality amps that will do the job, but if you are really serious you move into the pro audio realm. 1,000-4,000 watt amps are easy to find. I found my 3,400 watt pro amp for around $300 (used).
