If you're putting something big and powerfull in the box I'd make sure you put L-brackets and screws along with glue and silicon. I destroyed my box for my 15" SPL by turning it up too loud and BOOM!!!! The box blew apart because it didn't have enough holding it together (it was the first box I had built).
And like stated above, ALWAYS predrill or you'll be splitting MDF left and right.

Screws are only used as a type of clamp, the glue is stronger than the screws and wood itself. Titebond III works well. Predrill and countersink the screws so they dont split the wood. THE SCREWS DO NOT HOLD THE BOX TOGETHER!!! If glued well the wood will break before the glue bond does.
edit: use drywall scews not wood screws
