How thick should the front baffle of speakers be?

Some manufactures advertise or hype a thick front baffle, two layers of MDF, if the woofer is as thin as paper cone how could it change anything. Could be just hype

Really tough, no outgassing or fear from water damage like MDF and no voids if you stay away from the Chinese stuff and use only real Baltic Birch. Reverberation happens more than people think and thicker plywood is a great answer. Build your cabinet right and all the bandaids for poor cabinets like expensive feet are not needed.
