3/4 MDF with proper bracing is all you need. PM me if you're interested in an enclosure

What is that brace in the middle for ?
Also, I'd like an overlap on the sides so it's easy to life, and a rear slant.
Something like this JL prowedge box

Is there a rule of thumb for how long a mdf panel can be without bracing?

Not really... but the less 'flex' your enclosure has, the better.

Have you ever seen high end HT towers? The the insides look like a maze of bracing

Makes sense.

Even the inside of my little Mirage HDT bookshelfs are braced up good.
