I would suggest it. A nice general rule of thumb is to brace every 16 inches. Your front baffle and rear panel are going to flex like crazy if you don't reinforce them. I would also add a wood brace on the side panel opposite the port side.

I personally have never used rebar for bracing, but would it not make sense to add a washer and nut to the inside(s) of the box as well? You are bracing the outward movement of the box, but not the inward movement...

hth,

i would have to agree with mach5 there needs to be a washer on the inside of each pannel if you choose to use threaded stock like that. but i would definatly brace the front and rear pannels as well! if you do that itll sound great !
