Newbie question - MDF?
I'm looking at speaker upgrades on my 2002 coupe, and keep seeing references to MDF for speaker mounting. I know it's a dumb question, but what is MDF? :confused:

Medium Density Fiberboard. It is like particle board, but denser and stronger.
It’s density and strength allows it to resist flex and resonance found in most other types of wood. :yesnod:

Sawdust from the floor pressed together, bonded by glue, absorbs vibrations and noise without the weight of plywood.
When I build my boxes, I use 1/4" plywood patched in spots with dynamat to absorb the vibrations, to save weight.
