MDF on the top and bottom panels of my sub box? I plan to run 2 8" TangBand's in a ported box in my spare tire well. Sides withh be 3/4" for easier access to put drywall screws into, but wondering if the top and bottom piece could be 1/2" mdf and I use alot of bracing?

would i be hard pressed by doing it this way? I dont wana do fiberglass because its expensive and its time consuming, just a simple sqaure box where my spare tire well goes.

 

Maybe just make the whole thing out of 5/8" MDF ? It should be fine with that because I'm guessing you won't be running a whole lot of power ...

 

a JBL 300.1 to both subs, so yeah lower power.

 

How about an ABC box matt

 

you ought to be fine,,, want to be sure?? then brace it properly. i've buil the box for my 15" brahma out of 1/2" MDF for the flat pieces and 3/8" fiberglass on the wheel well itsel. i know the 1/2" is not thick enought, so i am bracing it all over the place leaving no long flat suface untouched...
