It is MDF and its naked under that water absorbent carpet. Sitting on the floor is the absolute worst thing you can do for a sub box, even its resin sealed. regardless of that, the humid conditions of the boating environment will take its toll on that box in the first season, but it will not show up until the second. The carpet will hide it, but if you are tuned into the bass, you will hear the change in its performance. as the box swells, softens and begins to leak, the sub will sound like mud. It will be sloppy and non responsive.

If best buy knew anything about marine audio, they would have done you a favor and talked you out of that automotive sub box. $.02
