Wouldnt that take away from the volume of the box or would it be neglegable? I think i need to do that to my box.

Now, the topic at hand. MDF is pretty dense stuff. The best and cheapest way I can think of to mass load it is to add more MDF in the form of a brace. If you want to make the box less flexible, a brace would do it as well (although you can cut up the brace to reduce weight).
I would think that a Deflex/Dynazorb type of pad would give you better results.

I agree, that test is BS, it proves nothing. If you truly want to test it you should have a tube under the MDF with a ball in it, and see how far up the tube the suction can pull the ball. Or if you want to truly test the porosity of the MDF please take me up on the Dereck Waller MDF porosity test. first I tie your hands behind your back, then I put a clothes pin on your nose. Next I CA glue a piece of MDF over your mouth with no air gaps. Then you die because you can't breathe thus disproving the less accurate 2 piece of MDF stuck together test.
