Its only about HALF as dense as MDF and should not be considered a substitute. "Well wood is wood" is not a correct statement. Make sure its REAL MDF... knock on it, the box should NOT sound hollow, it should sound basically like it were a tank. You should hear a THUD rather then the hollow sound. If you built the box yourself, a good way to tell is by how much dust was created. If you used a power saw, you should have more dust and debris then you know what to do with ~ even after just one cut. This is because as you know, MDF is just sawdust and glue under extreme pressures... Particle board would still create a dust, but you shouldnt see nearly as much as MDF is more dense.
BUT, no mounting the amp to the box shouldnt cause any problems. I hate mounting amps to the box for the simple fact it just makes it THAT much easier for a theif to steal everything out of your car. If he sees he has to lean into your car and unscrew the amp from the back seat ~ if the theif feels as if there isnt enough time you would only be out a subwoofer box. Word to the wise, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BOLT your subwoofer box to your car...

What I have IS MDF, I wasn't sure if was just called MDF or MDF something else. Anyways, I know wood isn't just wood, I play drums, and so that's one of the first things you just know. Anyways, when thinking about mounting the amp to the box, the theif issue came to mind as well, with me. SO I'm more leaning towards NOT mounting it to the box itse;f. I think the space next to the spare, like mentioned above sounds like a good place to mount it. I'll check it out, and see if the amp will fit there or not.
