Bracing takes up space inside of the box, thus you should add a little bit of airspace to the box when you make it. Bracing can be made out of mdf. You should have a solid divider board between the two subs, thus two separate air chambers. What the brace is designed to do is keep the walls of the box from flexing, you can use mdf pieces to wedge between the parallel surfaces (top to bottom - side to side - front to back). I have also seen people use 2x4's for bracing as well, if you go this route it is fairly simple. In all cases the braces need to glued and screwed into place.

You can also use blocks of wood as braces. Glue them in the corners of the box, so that each block is glued to three sides of the box. As Rob pointed out, whatever bracing you use, compensate for it by making the box larger by an equivalent amount.

Another good type of brace is similar to the solid divider board Rob described, but with a large hole cut in the middle of the panel. Cut the hole so that the square MDF "ring" that you'll be left with is at least 1.5 inches wide or so. For example, if the solid sheet is 12" X 12", I'd cut out a hole out of it measuring 9" X 9". Then, glue it into your box like Rob described for the solid divider board. This gives strength to the box without isolating part of the airspace from the rest of the airspace.
