for starters you should tell us if you're looking at a mk2, mk3, or mk4 Golf
(what year?).

Jesus. 1 amp. Dude you can get your amp or 4 and a guitar or 5 in there at
the same time. The rear seat folds down and you can get it in the rear doors
if you have a 4 door.

I regularly put lumber in my Golf. Largest thing I've had in there,
with the hatch closed, is a twin mattress (resting on my head).

edmunds.com lists the '00 Golf (would apply to all 1999.5-2005
models...these are Mk4s) as having 18 cubic feet luggage space.

2000 would be the a4 generation (late 1999 to 2006 -- early 1999 was the
a3 generation).

Why not find one for sale and test fit the amp in it? There are several
possible cargo configurations, depending on whether the back seats are
up or down, and whether the cover over the cargo area is in place. Seats
up with the cover on conceals the cargo area from thieving eyes, but gives
the least cargo area; seats down with the cover off gives a large cargo
area with a large opening to get stuff in and out.

For sedans they're pretty good but they're going to lack the height of a
hatchback's cargo area.
