In the pocket n' thumpy. So woody, so greasy...
You can fit an SVT, two basses, and a Honda Civic inside an 810.......Nonsense.
You can fit an SVT, an 810 and two basses in a Honda Civic...ask me how I know
What's a BMW?
On serious side, Just curious what the max dimensions are ?
Likewise just paid 1,200 for a van. Blasting the air conditioning now. So following the trend of the thread. There is thrifty alternatives. That work well

Buy a used(they're not made any more) Honda Element. It's the gigging musician's dream.Keep the "Beemer". OR go the cheaper route and buy a MAS 112 and keep the "Beemer". You will forget about 2 15's.
An Isobaric cabinet design will get you a smaller cabinet with equivalent low end performance, at the cost of more money (2dx the drivers), and less efficiency. Might be what you’re looking for. Might not.Isobaric is an option in Win isd.
Indeed, they're great cars. Not sold in my home market (Great Britain) but they are occasionally imported.
The CR-V, the Fit, and the HR-V are surprisingly good gear haulers, too. You should generally be able to hold a couple people and fit a fair amount of gear. I'm always impressed by how much Honda gets out of their interiors.
But need that third row if you want to haul all of the gear and all of the passengers. There's no replacement for displacement, I mean, actually having physical space.

- I teach lessons and perform live music in and around San Diego CA. Sometimes I even make money doing it!
Been using a Bag End 15 stack for decades now... 18” cubes, tough to find higher quality anything. Beware, their speakon wiring isn’t “standard,” but easy enough to wire your own cables. If they don’t fit in your trunk/seats, nothing will!
Which generation Miata is this ? I’m torn between a z4 , the new Miata, and the first generation one with the pop up headlights lol.
Hey, not to be contentious or rain on your parade but after auto insurance, licenses, maintenance and for a $1200 value, the likelihood of repairs are guaranteed, year over year, it starts to loose the thrifty vibe.
Cheaper to do a one off build cost for a small box 15.
....and a BMW is thrifty?
We are on TalkCar aren’t we? We love some Bass playing so that’s how we roll.
Seriously. What if you do roadhouse gigs with a fridge and SVT Head? Next gig 2 1x12s class D head and PA sound on a stick. Next gig you and another mate drive an hour with both of your rigs. Next is your pre/DI and a bass for a last minute studio hit. Then they want your live rig because producer heard you murdering it with tone and wants that on the takes. Isn’t this how your life goes? It is for a lot of us. I don’t move PA anymore so I need less car space. But really I’m a believer in personal responsibility so I have what’s capable of moving my kit.

It is a 2008 so that is a third generation. Got it used in 2011 and it had one minor issue that was under warranty when I bought it and zero problems since.
I LOVE driving too! The BMW 440i really IS the ultimate driving machine!
However, it is fairly small... Can't post trunk dimensions (don't have them), but the back seats do fold down.
Here's my current rig:
Although the amp is the BassBlock800 these days.
I have a 212 that rocks pretty hard too, but tuned a bit higher.
I also have a pair of vintage Carvin 115s that used to be great! But a bit too big for the Bimmer.
I also enjoy sealed cabs. Thinking about a 115 sealed cab, similar to about half of johnk_10's 215. That might just fit!
