Did you use mdf ?

Lol....it would be easier if I just gave you the link to the build. The short answer is yes, 1.25" MDF. The long answer will be found in the link below...

Wow box looks amazing! the only reason i asked is because i dont know if i want to spend all that money on birch the first dual 18's box i build. in the future, yes i will as i better my skills. I dont have a table saw so its impossible to cut good cuts. so you used 1.25" mdf single layer ? The only issue i worry is that it will be so heavy the air ride suspension will have issues. .

I've got air ride also with no prob. Box is probably somewhere around 200 pounds empty, which is like having a person or some tools on the back. If your truck can't handle that, it isn't a truck.

As far as not having a table saw, that's easy. Your box will be so big that you could only use a table saw on a few of the cuts anyway unless you had a monster shop saw table. You can always make perfect cuts every time by placing a straight edge on your piece held down by two squeeze clamps and run a circular saw up against the straight edge. That is how I made all my cuts for my box, even the angled ones. I use an old 4' level as my straight edge, but you could use anything that you're sure is 100% straight, even a cutoff from the sheet of ply or MDF.
