"Particle bd' or MDF (Off Topic)

Particle board here is usually very cheap stuff made from particles of wood. I think the MDF is the pressurized sawdust.

Particle board is the good stuff from home Depot. half inch and quarter inch thick sheets, about two sheets of each IIRC. I did laminate a birch or maple multiply sheet on the face where the BD 15 sits, but if I were to do it again, I'd stick to PARTICLE Board throughout. it actually looks good with several coats of semigloss varathane.
yeh I hate that filthy ParTicle Board when it is used inappropriatly for cheap kitchen cabinets and poorly implemented counter tops...this is part of the modern american way tho...use the cheapest material..use the fewest fasteners...throw out any sense of traditional craftsmenship...and try to make huge profit...:sad:
Bert's use of particle board for the BD 15 is an appropriate use in this application, and the resultant cabinet, if well made by the DIYer, will provide good BASS :grin: :grin: :grin:
