Is 5/8" MDF thick enough for a box?

Its 1.6 cubes, ported. sub will be a SA-12 on 800 rms

Without music, life would be an error

If you use it, I would make sure to brace it really well. But I think that should be fine.

Whats the best method of bracing for a box that size?

I always just use inch and a half wooden dowels. Can be found at local hardware store for like $5 for a 4 foot piece. One front to back, and on top to bottom should be good. Also, the port acts like some bracing as well. So it should be fine.

Don't think it makes much of a difference. I'll check when I get home what kind I have.

Why would you want to go with 5/8" wood?

Why not, Joe?

That's what I asked in the first place...

How much do you have? Double it up and it will absolutely be strong enough
