The thickness depends on how big the area is and how many curves there are. The longer and flatter the area, the more layers I use. The more curves there are you may be able to get away with less since the curve will add strength. I wouldn't use less than 3-4 layers in any case.
If it is built thick and strong enough with no flex it will sound just as good as any mdf box.
thanks a lot im planing on doing this some time soon. i just need to purchase a higher quality subwoofer and amp. i dont like what i have now
