You want to ensure you pre drill all holes into the ends of the material to prevent splitting of the board. Use a quality wood glue on all joints
For mounting of the subwoofer itself, use “T-Nuts” and bolts to allow the speaker to be taken in and out as many times as needed, screwing into the MDF will only hold up for one or two installations
