I think the only reason that they built it out of 5/8 is for weight reasons it shouldn't make any difference. The 4x8 sheet of mdf (3/4) weigh close to 100+ ilbs

Depends on the subs. If theyre low power subs, you should be fine. I wouldnt put a Brahma in there, but Id put a vmaxx in there. you can always add some bracing too.

I was looking at the CV vmaxx 12s...I have a 500w rms @ 2ohm amp.
"A true story We once heard of a fellow using a triplet of our 10W6's in a sealed box powered with a 1200 watt amplifier. The box was not braced at all, was one big chamber and was made of particle board. While demonstrating the system for a crowd of people, the box literally exploded in his trunk, coating his trunk with sawdust and enclosure shrapnel, leaving the subs to play in free-air (not cool). Not only is it frustrating (or really cool, depending upon your personality) to have a box explode in your car, but it can also be very dangerous....after all, you could poke an eye out!" -COurtesy of jlaudio.com I find this story hilarious. I can just imagine someone with audiobahns doing this. Too bad some idiot did this with jl's. I wonder what happened to the subs. Afterall, lots of power + lots of air space = f****ed up woofers.
What thickness of particle board? I have mine made of 3/4, with two audiobahn aw1500q subs with the orion 2250 the beast on them it dont make mine move. What do you use?
