nice box. it looks like you used plywood and not mdf. should have used mdf

it does not matter what would u use. installers use mdf cause its smooth and cheap the harder the wood the better the box ....I made a box out of oak once it was heavy as hell but sounded amazing no vibrations at all

I see a lot of people layering on the Bondo these days. I use it only as a patch or fine tuned form definition. Is all that needed?

Lol, its actually not that much on there, but i had to Bondo it to try and level out the imperfections. The end result didn't turn out too bad... Will take a pic of it in a couple days, just got my truck back and will resume work on it soon enough..
