I don't want the trunk itself sealed. I want the trunk sealed separate from the cabin.

Do you have any pics of the frame?

hers one i found quick lol just an idea. works fine for me, a lil tape or deadener will help to seal it completly off too

I usually build a trim panel that bolts to the box, and the sheet metal around the box, that way it looks nice and does the job of sealing off the trunk, also great stuff works well too, if you dont want it so mess up your carpet just get some plastic with a stapler and staple the plastic to the carpet.

Thats a lot more of what I had in mind. I was thinking of using the plastic and filling it with foam. I want a trim panel type thing, but what material would be good to use?

Last time I did it I just used some 3/4 inch plywood, wrapped in fabric. To get the shape you need just trace it on to some cardboard then transfer that to the wood your using then use a router/jigsaw to cut it out. And then carpet/paint if wanted, but before you carpet it make sure to test fit it to make sure it fits nicely so if it doesnt you can sand it to get it to fit good.

I just want to add to something someone said b4. Build a trim panel to whatever thickness you desire. It's going to act like a face plate on a h.u. Its going to seal your cabin off from you trunk but it is still going to allow the subs too build up pressure in the cabin. I would deadend the floore and rear deck and sides of the trunk then i would build your wood face plate as tight as you can make it fit in there..then in front of and behind fill the gaps with foam or great stuff..w.e you want to use..cheapest possible i would think. Anyways fill all your cracks or places where it would leak air through and then sand or cut off the excess from the front portion where your going to see. That way it will look clean. Then I would throw either a harder material over the expanding foam or put another thinner face plate that is either painted nice with texture paint or apohlstered with a nice material that matches your car. Then you would have a real nice sealed trunk!

How could I keep it from getting everywhere? I'm thinking put down plastic in the area I want to apply it. I don't really want it on my box.
