that wood looks like..... You should use MDF whenever you get the chance. It's easier to work with and usually is similar in price as other inferior quality wood. It looks MUCH better carpeted, now that all the wood is covered up, lol.

Looks pretty cool.

Looks like you built the boxes themselves out of MDF, then built the covers out of the chipboard... Since chipboard is cheaper than MDF usually, it makes sense... Plus, it's LIGHTER!!!

Yea the main boxes are made out of MDF wood. Good stuff but very heavy. I tried to use as little as possible. I then made the outside skin with cheap plywood which is probably 50lbs lighter by the sheet then MDF.

Exactly....Much lighter. I would have added another full sheet of MDF wood for the shell which would have been an additional 100lbs. The regular speaker boxes behind it are MDF like you said.
