[QUOTE="bigbang, post: 4390285, member: 576408"] I build a frame out of 2" x 2" oak boards fastened together from opposite ends with 3/8" threaded rod bored through the center with recesses at the ends for washers, nuts, and plenty of locktight, to form a cube or rectangular shaped frame. Then I screw the double panels of 1” MDF onto this. I use dove-tail joints on the MDF panels. Gives me allot of strength at the seams. Then I use 1 1/2" wooden dowels fit through holes on opposing sides of MDF for bracing, glued in. I split the ends of the dowels and hammer in oak shims with my 25 lbs hammer to tighten the dowels grip on the MDF. I also coat the whole box in resin, and then test it out down at the river just to be sure it is waterproof. See the enclosed picture of our Heineken sub box built for the company big-rig being tested at the park.
