i like f/g but mdf with f/g inside also good ,just mdf is ok

mdf due to the price to preforamce ratio, but if i had the $$ baltic birch ply or any marine grade plywood.

as for stuffing. i have never had to use it. but by adding 1.5lbs per cf.will make the sub think its in a box about 20% larger. the larger the box the less effect polfill will have on it

I make wooden forms and cast all the panels in 1" concrete slabs. :smilie_da

It takes a little longer...

If you'll pardon the pun, you'd better get stiffer springs for the hearse....:cheeky4:

3/4 mdf for the most part

cheap, easy to work with, strong enough.

when in doubt double up

4 pieces of 1/4" mdf laminated together if i had to choose
