Well, there's little difference between the two sizes, so personally, I would lean towards the larger of the two. The depth of the MAW-15 is 6 5/8".

The general rule for bracing is to brace every 15 or so inches if using MDF. You can do one hollow brace in the middle glued to all four sides (eg. the same shape as the sides running all the way around the enclosure).

i did some searching and was wondering if i should double up the mounting side of mdf? and i searched for a pic of what a hollow brace would look like and didnt find anything.. this is my first box so i want it to be the best it can b!

subs come in tomorrow!!!!!!
