Default I didn't think they made one for our car. I saw one for a B5 Passat but don't think it will work.

If there is one, please let me know because it should be decent.

Default thats great but its still doesnt hit as hard as an open cabin, they do make some special molded

plastic pieces that go from a 12" woofer into a 6x9 hole and pushes the sound into the cabin( which is what i would have done if i got a sedan. but you still lose punch

sealed is def the way to go though i run a single sealed 12" jl w3 with a 300/2 amp and phoenix gold m25 for mids and highs it pumps!! I was thinkin about upgrading to the selaed 3 12" woofer box and a 500/2 amp heheh but the single does well

the only sedan i ever had was a 93 thunderbird v8 and i never touched the system because i knew the base wouldnt be up to par with my standards

to each there own

Default I get more than enough bass than I can stand in the car and I still have a spare tire.
