a sealed box with cabin gain factored in, gives a flat response.
this is why I usually suggest ported boxes for people in cars.. they tend to want more than "flat" for bass. the human ear is less sensitive at lower frequencies, so a bit of gain at that range helps compensate.
yes, go to a ported box. the volume will increase by about 50% on box size, but with a 4" diameter port in a 2cu ft box, you'll get a lot more low end from the same sub.
at least +3dB gain
you'll want the box tuned around 34Hz, and use a subsonic filter tuned to about the same frequency to protect the sub in the new enclosure.
do that and you're set.
