Getting bass in these cars is much more difficult then others. I installed a 10" type r sub and i love the bass when at a standpoint byt the bass is hardly felt when i start driving. Ant suggestions, is it because of the speed volume setting? Should i dynomat the spare wheel area, i did the rear deck so far.

Do you have a skiport in your backseat?
I presume the subwoofer locates in a trunk.

Fold the middle section of the backseats down or fold them both down. Its probably just tough to travel through the rear seats. I had that problem in my Acura TLS... or Just get bigger amp and a JL W3 or W6

I put Dynamat up in the bottom of the rear deck when I installed my Focal Solid 1 600W amp + Carpower Blackbass 10 subwoofer and it sounds nice at all speeds. The spare wheel area or any other areas are not Dynamatted. I also made a "skiport" into the rear seats, because I didn't have one before. I keep the middle section of the rear seat folded down almost all the time.
