Always use MDF for building audio hardware


Sony makes good amps, but their subs arent the best

Use Silicone Sealant for seals

JL makes the best subs IMO

Ya use 3/4 inch mdf plywood. If you go to home depot they will know what your talking about if you say MDF wood. Like hackabuse said use silicone sealant after you get it screwed together.
