Baffle wood should be 1/2-3/4 of an inch and shouldnt wear out so long as the cab isnt subjected to wood-damaging elements. There are disgusting amounts of amps and cabs from the 50s and 60s that still have their original baffles fully and structurally in tact. And even if the wood were to wear out or become damaged, all you need to do is unscrew the speaker from the baffle.
For installing the t nuts, there are two ways of going about it. Both first involve drilling a hole that the threaded part of the t nut can fit in snugly. The second part, lodging the spikes in the wood, can be done two ways:
1. insert and tighten a screw with a washer on the opposing side of the t nut, so that as you tighten the screw, the spikes from the nut are drawn into the wood.
2. hammer it in.
Good luck with the build!
