Is 5/8 mdf ok...

joe black Silver Member Username: Highstone Post Number: 415 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 22:54 GMT 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?

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.
