Birch vs MDF

I have never had an issue with MDF. I used to always build sub boxes, and even built a few for the marine enviroment and with the moisture I havn't run into any issues. I do give it a thumbs down because if you do drop it and its a hard fall it can split unlike plywood which has a little give, but for the most part I really had no issues with MDF.

MDF is fine for home audio since you don't move them around much. But for live sound and mobile dj's, moving a truck load of horn cabs made from MDF can be tiresome from all the weight.

And they will disintegrate.
