what is mdf??
does it stand for something??
or is that what the wood is called??

It stands for Meduim Density Fiber wood. One tip i could tell you is pick the subs that you are going to use and check the manufactures recommeditions for the type of box and the volume and also the port size.

[clean454]

3/4 or a inch is ok
the usual is like 3/4

 

[96Chevy]
