The problem is not that it isn't lowpassed or cos its free air - the problem is that its a really weak sub being powered by a really weak amp.
having said that - with your Dynamat, was it applied to the underside of the parcel shelf, i.e. it's visible when you look inside the boot? I'm thinking of getting some and doing it... hehehe
You can apply it to the underside of the shelf but you'll get better results applying it to the top of it - between the trim and the shelf. I'd also apply some to the trim shelf itself cos thats going to start to vibrate next.
btw. Stinger Roadkill is better than Dynamat, but it's messier to work with and also I think costs more...
I found the the stinger roadkill sheets were a lot easier to work with actually and its slightly thicker than Dynamat extreme. I too prefer Roadkill to Dynamat, but my damping of choice is CAE - works as well as Dynamat or Roadkill but is much lighter and is not tar based.
speaking from experience, of course!
