I would request a low Fs as well. You can play lows at high power with the sealed if you have to make it huge. So look for a lower Fs 8 if you can. I had some of elemental designs 8's that worked great in a 4th. A lot of 8's resonate really high in 4ths.
 
You'll need more of an sq oriented design to get a lower fs (ideally below 40hz for an 8) which inherently will have lower power handling.

I own 2 cerwin vega v series 8s with the red surround, never hooked them up but they have a fs of 34, I also have some old Infinity REF860w's, those are good for 4th orders, I dont remember the specs off the top of my head but something with comparable numbers to either of those models would be a decent starting point.
 
Contact Apex Audio they should have them and a price since they are in that building. And they get right back to you within a day sometimes within a hour or two. Just for the heck of it kinda thing, be nice to know what those are going for in case others want to know.

I’m going to stick with the 4th order bandpass for now and see if it can improve it. The bandpass actually plays 100 rebased songs good.

I'd try rear facing. Have you tried opening the trunk to see if that restores your bass?
