Default Lining a Speaker Cabinet

MDF is difficult, if not impossible, to get to resonate. That is the reason
for it's use in speaker boxes. Little is better than none. How much
difference it actually makes is dependant on may factors. Couldn't hurt.

We are building an entertainment unit for a client. He designed it himself
and did a nice job. He wanted the boxes that hold the speakers to be lined
with MDF.
Now that we have built the unit we have found that here is room at the

top,
bottom and back of boxes (cabinets) for 3/4" MDF but because of the size

of
the speakers there is only room for 1/8" (if it's even available) for the
sides.
Is 1/8" MDF going to make a difference? Is there another material to use?
Or the broader question, is MDF required / desirable at all.
Thanks, JG
