I bet the foam under your carpet is SOAKED with water. It doesn't let it out either (because it's waterproof) and is quite a pig to change.

You got an amp? You using the grommet at the bulkhead to run the cables down? If so, it will be that.

Otherwise check the plastic rain tray under the scuttle panel. Mine had a hairline crack on it above the pollen filter which water was coming through. Resulted in a wet car, and feet haha! Soon sorted that out with a new one and new pollen filter!
