Guest muttleyturbo Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 MDF isn't great as it's a very absorbent compressed cardboard type wood, not great for something that is in your doors where moisture will be a concern. Use some ply wood and seal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest van_damme_supra Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 yeah, i bought the models in MDF. wasn't aware water gets in there. plastic is no option with my machine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 it can be cut to shape by hand if you take things slowly with a regular hand saw, screws wont be good for tapping, just use thin/short bolts and nuts to secure the speaker in, and stock sized holes, 10mm for the stock bolts...simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
