Hi Everyone. I want to get some feedback on what's considered acceptable stock for a 5 cubic foot box (20x20x20). I used 1" MDF for the 2PI Towers last year and think that was overkill. However, I've seen guys double up on 3/4" MDF for all six sides for a total of 1.5". I'm looking to build the box for a JBL 2235 and running it down to 35Hz.

Will 3/4" MFD be fine?
If given a choice between thick walls with little bracing, or thinner walls with more agressive bracing, which would be better?

thanks,
Gar.
