5"? that would be pretty thick haha in my opinion. depending on the weight of your sub and how you are installing it (vertical, inverted, horizontal) you would need different thicknesses, but 5" is pretty thick haha, try doubling up some 3/4" MDF maybe, that could be pretty strong IMO.

... 5 should be good, recess the subs in 1 layers, then round the back of the baffle out.

my no wall box ended up at 5" and it's perfect. No resonance at all. The total height of the interior is 21". My guess is you could get away with about a 4-5 foot square without issues.
