This engineered wood is extremely robust and dense, which improves audio quality. The most common material for basic enclosures is MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). What is the most significant material for a subwoofer box, you may be wondering? Well, there are a few choices, so let’s go over the most popular ones: MDF Sheet: You can use 12″ or 5/6′′ thick wood for smaller subwoofers like 6.5′′ or 8′′, The most commonly recommended thickness of the material is 34″, or 0.75′′. While thinner material should not provide an issue for tiny sealed boxes, building a vented or bandpass box may present greater challenges. When building a subwoofer box, keep in mind that it needs to be as solid as possible to avoid flexing. For smaller cars, choose smaller subwoofer dimensions that can fit easier and look good and provide an adequate volume rather than blasting your car with pounding bass.
