Big sub, big box, big power.

Whatever you put in there will sound better and much louder in a hatchback or saloon. The only way round it is to go bigger than usual.

I had a big RE SX 15" sub in the boot and 500wrms amp and that was loud enough to satisfy most people. I couldn't get ANYTHING I the boot though.

You can port into the cabin on the cabs.
It does involve cutting through both rear firewall skins.
