is it fine to have box made out of 5/8" mdf. I know the preferred 3/4" .. but 5/8 is 0.625" only 0.125" less... does it really make a difference?

wouldn't it depend on what sub he has, if you have anything thats under 500rms i think it would be ok if you used a good amount of bracing.

Box size makes a big difference indeed. So does the sub. However most ppl here are bumpin' well over 500w. Drop a 1000w sub or greater into a 5/8" MDF box and watch what happens. And how much difference in price is it?? Unless you already have the 5/8", 3/4" all the way.
