What Materials Should I Use?

[The_end]

Are plywood and fiberglass the only options? Some people i talked to say plywood is bad to use because it vibrates a lot nd sounds bad, any other options?

I used Birch Plywood on my box and it is stronger and lighter than MDF, but more expensive...

Your freins are correct lol. DO NOT use plywood, some good ol' MDF is all ya need. Thats the most common wood used in car audio, or if you can afford it some baltic burch

I like Liquid Nails. It holds well and is a lot less of a mess than Titebond.

but liquid nails is just a surface adhesion with mdf. a good wood glue should penetrate the wood and chemically bond the pieces together, making it a much stronger joint then if you had used liquid nails...

i usually stick with mdf and titebond. use a clamp to hold it together while it dries and you'll be good.
