3/4" - 5/8" is nearly identical..

IMO, just use 3/4" .. if the sub is mounted on the side double up the front baffle

3/4" is the minimum. 1" would be even better. And like Kevin said double baffle the panel that the sub(s) will be mounted to.

Two layers of MDF supporting the sub instead of one. Use lots of glue/adhesive between as well.

Not to get you off topic, but what kind of diamond does he have? Im just wanting more opinions on box sizing for them.

IMO i would do 1" & double up 2) 3\4" on both the front & back of the box & brace inside where possible ....

stiffness = more output .....

ive never had problems with flexing, unless you have a huge box.. for a single 15" .. if you build the box pretty square the slot port is a good brace.. you could ad one in the middle and with a double baffle for a total 1.5" with the rest of the box being .75" you'd be fine

so the thicker the box doesnt mean you will get deeper bass out of it ?

'''''''so the thicker the box doesnt mean you will get deeper bass out of it ?''''''

not necessarily - the point is STIFFER the box = more output ...u can use 3\4 mdf just brace it as u see fit but take into account bracing takes up space so add that in when ur designing a box .....
