[QUOTE="Jacob Dryer, post: 873767, member: 63151"] Just FYI you can push a lot more power through 1/2" mdf than you think. Especially in a small box without any long single piece panels, the only reason for 3/4" is if you are worried about the wood flexing. I built my center console out of 1/2" and run 500 watts rms to my 10" with no flexing of the box because they are all small pieces. edit: not that you are going to hurt anything using 3/4", it will be sturier for sure, and allows more room for screw mistakes, but it will also be heavier and have less airspace than the same exterior dimensions with 1/2", and 1/2 is cheaper :) [/QUOTE]
