We have not tried this specific box for sound but have done this before and if done correctly sounds equally as good as a MDF box and drastically drops the weight. Most importantly it keeps wood out of the car.
Dynamat Extreme and a top layer of 3M thinsulate will take care of that and still be a lot lighter than MDF.

Looking good!!

How do you open the doors from the inside with the latches in the quarter panels?

Are you putting pressure relief vents elsewhere?
