Medium Density Fiberboard.  Think "really friggin thick cardboard".  The stuff
is very dense, won't warp, won't shrink, and can easily be made airtight.  It's
also *extremely* strong do the the nature of fibers that overlap and
criss-cross.  It's nature makes it extremly well-suited to speaker boxes,
especially sub enclosures.
