Is it ok to use 1" thick mdf for building a sealed subwoofer enclosure? I am building a box for two 10" kicker comp vr subwoofers at 400 watt rms each. The box needs to be able to support a lot of weight (because i am mounting a seat to it) so I wanted to make it as sturdy as possible. Thanks for the advice

It's ok to use 1", but, if I'm correct, you should be fine with 3/4" if your just building a box for two 10's.

Im not sure I would mount a seat to a subwoofer box at all. Basically for saftey reasons, think what would happen to that seat and sub box in a rollover accident. The pressures that would be exerted on that box would be way more than it could handle. This is why seats come mounted to the steel floor from the factory..

I think he is doing a truck build. And that is the reason he wants it to be strong enough is for weight to rest on the box.

If you are infact intending the box to be the point to secure the seat the above is correct.( I really hope your not intending that) There is no way i would do that and have a passanger ride there.

3/4 would be fine for the seat to rest on. You will want to add some extra bracing. Simple 3"x3" triangles should work well enough. A divider wall would stiffin it the most.
