You dont build boxes out of plywood or particleboard, for a proper
build, you build them out of MDF, preferably 3/4" or 1"

For home systems, the 1" MDF or HDF is best, but it is way to heavy to
move all the time. For a permenant install, the MDF would be fine. For
portability and strength, plywood is the only way to go.

As to particleboard, what do you think MDF is?

Sawdust and glue.


For a really lightweight cab with cost not an issue, has anyone used
Aerolam for
an enclosure ?

I've built hundreds of subwoofers, most of the twin 18" peavey lowrider
subwoofer boxes, and have not once trusted the boxes to MDF. MDF is used
for low sensitivity car audio subwoofers, and should stay there, its far too
fragile and has no shock resistance
