3/4" double baffle, and either 1"thick mdf (or double up on half inch mdf), bracing and don't forget a port brace.

Either .5-1" dowels out threaded rod

I would put some kinda of brace along that bottom panel, you could do something like a 4" tall piece of mdf running the width of the box. Cut holes in it so it takes up less air space. When bracing a box the goal is the reduce the length of un-braced segments. A larger number of smaller braces is better than just a few large ones. I'd use smaller dowels, and use more of them.

Here is some bracing I did for a 18" home theater speaker for ideas:

i have room to play on the bottom. the plan is to build amp racks down there and i will have some braces there for when i bolt it to the body of hte vehicle so when all is said and done id think the bottom will be between 1.5-3.5" thick. ill shrink those dowells and look into a shelf between teh sides and front/back

I was thinkingmore along the lines of a brace on the inside of the port. Then less braces right next to the subs and more on the bigger pieces of un braced mdf.
