What materials do I need to build a proper enclosure?

But if you do 1” panels instead then the design would have to be tweaked to compensate the wood width increase.

I don't know what to do man. I know MDF. I don't care how heavy it is, I'm putting load helping bags on the truck. But I respect and value your opinion. You've never steered me wrong, and helped me a crap ton!

Mdf would work too. For sure. But you would have to brace it to achieve optimal output. Since mdf is more flexible, bracing is needed more now. Contact that guy and ask him about bracing. Then go on YouTube and look at 6th order enclosures and you’ll see that they are braced. So make sure that guy factors in bracing.

the customer isn’t always right.”

I was told that rubberized undercoating works good to seal the box better. Not positive it helped anything but I thought it was worth a shot.

I also added a wood dowel in a weak spot, it has a very slight interference fit and is glued in. 

Some use silver HVAC tape to smooth out airflow and seal things up better.
