But - you can use bracing, or creative positioning of slot ports (I love doing dual-sub boxes with a slot port between the two subs, bracing the baffle, and top and bottom very rigidly
), to stiffen the enclosure.
You can use 3/4" MDF for virtually any size enclosure, without worries - using bracing as needed for larger panel spans, where you might fear that you could get some flexing...
...or on ANY span, just for overkill. No harm in overkill.
Basically - you can find 3/4" MDF at any Home Depot or Lowes across the country.
Larger thicknesses are much harder to find - much harder - and much more expensive.
