Medium Density Fiberboard. Its basically just particle board, except with finer pieces of wood, instead of chunks. The finer pieces allow for a tighter more compressed bond, with resin selaing. The more compressed the board is used in subwoofer applications, because it is dense enough, and solid enough to produce good response from a subwoofer enclosure. There are more compact materials people use for crazy trick *** enlocures, but MDF is pretty standard for the ease of use, and perfromance it offers.

Exactly.
MDF is actually more glue and resin than wood. Think of a big mixture of resin, glue and sawdust compressed like a **** and comes out in 4x8 sheets. It's very uniform, but chips easily. Make sure to pre-drill any screw holes. A braid nailer or finish nailer works just as good as screws and makes things go much faster too.
