MDF, Cheap and strong enough and easy to work with!Depends though you can use anything really as long as it aint toooooo thin.If you want something lighter then MDF can be weighty!

best bet for a good solid box is something like 12-18mm mdf, or if you want a real quality box, some marine ply.

dont forget the box needs to be the correct size as well, which will be on the subs data sheet!

make sure you wear a mask, MDF dust is carcenogenic.
