If you want deep rumble and not too loud, then I can definitely advise on a sebring, I've had one now for 8+years.

I have a Sebring backbox in my garage, it was suposed to fit my 2 part 325i system but it doesn't? Maybe it's for an E36?

That looks like an E30 item. You can see 325e which is an E30.

You misunderstand, the one you have is part of a 2 piece system.

Yes, it fits a standard system just fine, as long as the centre box is part of a 2 piece system. I originally had mine fitted to a standard centre, but upgraded about 2 years later and bought the sebring centre section.
