[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8864486, member: 689267"] The only advantage to using plywood is the weight or when doing IB walls, kerf cuts for certain ports where you have to use plywood. Good quality birch ply is around $85 to $120 for a 4x8 sheet of furniture grade ply. 3/4" MDF with quality construction using braces (as would be the case with plywood too) is more than adequate and definitely cost effective at about half the price.. On another note, why that Sub? What little I could find indicate it is recommended for a sealed enclosure. Additionally, the FS on it is around 36, not very low at all. There are a lot of subs out there for that kind of money ($500 ea) that would work better. That sub is designed for competition and around 5000 watts rms, 2 up to 10000. You are going to sacrifice sound quality and efficiency to attain those kind of power handling number's. THere are a lot of very capable and worthy 12s on the market that I would get before those. (I don;t by Russian products, but) 2 for around $719 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item-196554-Deaf-Bonce-DB-SA302-D2.html[/URL] @ of these $899 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item-196540-Deaf-Bonce-Avatar-STU-1246-D2.html[/URL] A pair of used JL Audio 12W6v3-D4's $1050 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ebay.com/itm/295945782752?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335951755&toolid=20001&mkevt=1[/URL] And many more that others will likely chime in on.
