Sub boxes, with few exceptions (extreme fiberglass designs and
such) should always be made out of 3/4" MDF (Medium Density
Fiberboard). As for attaching the cover, it depends on what you cover it
with. Most cases you'd use a glue. That's the way pro installers put
automotive carpet on the boxes they build. Vynl you'd probably do the
same way, for anything else I wouldn't know.
