Are you sure they are using mdf and its not actually particle board?.....big difference (IMO) but i cant see why they'd use mdf as a protective sheet when they could use particle board for about 1/10th the cost.....just make sure.

3/4 is fine for most any install. if the front baffle is really big, and alot of wood exposed with no bracing inside you may want to double baffle it so there are no vibes.
