MDF is 100 times better than standard plywood.

The only plywood worth using is marine grade or birch, which runs anywhere from 2-3x as much. So, you're better of sticking with MDF.

The main reason for Medium Density is that the natural frequenc of the wood is in a desireable range. Plywood of the same thickness isnt assembled with the same glue and tends to be less dense.

In car audio, a box isnt just a box to hold speakers, it is a versatile tool to tune your speakers. Always stick with atleast 3/4" MDF for subs, even double layered for large subs.

I like the concrete sheets you can buy at home depot you can buy 6 sheets and use concrete screws & driveway sealant to seem up the box nicely.
