if your not able to get your wood cut at a local store and dont have a table saw, ive seen people use a circular saw with some sort of metal ruler or 2x4, doesent seem to difficult

yea I purchased 2 sheets of 3/4 mdf board for $20 bucks. The only thing with mdf board is that it will give you a hard time by splitting if you countersink the hole before you drill the screw in. believe me, its a nightmare

NoLimit, people generally use MDF. You can glass yourself a box into your car, but probably use MDF to make a speaker ring and frame inside the glass for strength. Especially if you're running a lot of power to your sub, that stuff will vibrate.
