Ok....thanks for all the replies guys....i'm still leaning toward the Poplar but the Balsa with sheet metal sounds good too. I only want to get away from the MDF's weight becuz i'm thinking ahead to having to move the thing!! And my design for the cab(actually a half cab....bottom part kinda like the console of the 6-player X-men arcade) as i have it thought up now is going to be massive.

Stingray:
Being that I'm no carpenter by any means, but feel comfortable doing metal work, I seriously considered building a cab entirely out of sheet metal with a tubing frame. After I realised that I'd need a forklift to move it, I changed my mind and just bought an old cab and converted it.

Butter.  No, wait: goldfish.  Not the cracker kind, real goldfish.  No wait...Coke cans.

orntar:
i built my cab with a sheet and half of 3/4" mdf and one sheet of 1/2" mdf. plus misc parts and 100lbs tv.

it has 4 swivel 3" or 4" casters (can't remember) so it weight like 300-350 lbs and i can move it rather easily. i prefer mdf. i dont trust ply wood for slotcutting the t-molding.
