mdf is short for medium density fiberboard

its like sawdust and glue compressed into a board...this is not to be confused with particle board...which is chips of wood and glue compressed into a board

Use 3/4" MDF wood. Should be about 25 bucks at home depot for a 4'x8' sheet.

This link should answer everything you need to know.

Or if you want to have one professionally built for you contact Marv(pm me if you'd like his contact info)

Yes, of course it matters. The dimensions are based on whats best for the sub. You can buy terminals that make it clean, or i guess drill a hole and some silecone
