3) what subs should i consider for tight base response?
4) my x5 does not have an amp, If I tap into rear speaker wires to feed a subwoofer amp with Line out converter, are there going to be issues?
5) can I get away with a 6/7 channel amp to power the subwoofer and then my door speakers(in the future)?
Thanks

1-the box should be sealed, since it would be almost impossible to have a correctly configured ported box work properly in such a small space.
2-I would dynamat the area prior to building and installing your box to get accurate measurements of the space you have to work with. If you already built the box, then there's little reason to worry because dynamat is pretty thin stuff so there should be no problem.
3-JL w-0, JL w-3, kicker L5 or L7 10"....so many more to list..
4-There will be no issues at all as long as you tap the proper wires.
5-I personally would get a seperate amp for my sub and mids/highs. 6-7 channel amps are usually huge which makes mounting and placement difficult. Also, in the event the amp were to go out on you, all your sound would be gone. At least if you have seperate amps, its easier to diagnose the culprit and remedy the problem faster.
