It also comes in 5/8. Home Depot has 3/4 for something like $25 for a 8x4 feet sheet. The 5/8 sheet is only a few bucks less.

3/4" MDF is what just about everyone uses. With some woofers its better to use 1" MDF.

Yes....MDF (medium density fiberboard) or HDF (high density)
is your friend. Avg price at home centers is $20-25 per 4'x8' sheets-which are better in the price catagory than a precut 2'x4' hobby sheet. .75 " is the best for most applications,but depending on sub type and use 1.0" or .5" can work as well.

Now break out the saws and have at it
