Might be overkill though for an open backed cab, but you at least want to make sure the baffle is sturdy and flat AF.^ that. Note when you're making measurements that 3/4" will be more like 0.70" or a metric similar value.Pine would also probably sound good for that cabinet, and is easier to dovetail if that's what your buddy wants to do.
