[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 378839, member: 550915"] Talking apples and oranges. MDF makes a nonresonant enclosure and is the best choice for an enclosure that will not be installed and left in place in the vehicle or your living room or a concert hall, etc... If you need the enclosure to be tough, you compromise the sound of the enclosure slightly for the sake of durability. You know PA systems and your PA amps and they are not treated really well. You move them around alot, tossing them in and out of the truck, sliding them across the stage, stacking stuff on top of them, it might rain slightly at an outdoor venue. An MDF enclosure would not survive long in an evironment like that. That is why you know marine plywood. That is what PA stuff is made out of from necessity. We are not talking PA stuff and we do know what we are talking about. You said yourself that you are a newb to car audio. I'm sure you know more about PA gear than many on here and most of them will freely admit that. Many of us know car audio as well if not better than you know PA. There is not much in the way of crossover in the way of techniques and equipment between the two. They share music, and use the same basic components, but quickly diverge from there. Listen to what we know about car audio and if we need info on PA gear, we know who to come to. [/QUOTE]
