first off what kind of sub? what type of hertz do you want? what size of cubic feet is needed for your sub? there are more questions to answer before getting help

I barely got 5 cubes out of a full sheet of MDF, it took a lot of math and drawing.... That's 5 net though, the port displaced .875 and the subs another .32. I'd estimate you could get between 5-6 ft^3 from one sheet if you make the right cuts.... I guess it all depends on your height/width/lengths too though.
