MDF is "press board" like shelves are made of. It is very dense and will eat your saw blades, but is what everyone uses to mount speakers and build speaker boxes. It's basically sawdust and glue extruded to a flat shape.

<I deleted the previous link to VFRLuke's pictures because I'm not sure it's cool to link to someone else's site. The above forum link contains good pictures. Look at VFRLuke's install post for other pictures.>
