[QUOTE="spokey9, post: 8819023, member: 685744"] I've been asking the local shops for a sealed box built for my si sql 15's (a recent health issue kinda prevents me from using power tools). I wannted to do 1" pine plywood but I'm getting told it's the equivalent of 1/2" mdf in strength. Of course they all offer to do it in birch but this is a temp box until I can find the right person to do a labyrinth ported box built to spec (gotta save of a bit cash to since I'm sure it won't be cheap 😂). My question is 1" pine plywood that much weaker or am I being upsold like it feels? What I could find about wood types Pine ain't the most popular but I couldn't find any dramatic performance issues building boxes from it. [/QUOTE]
