Actually, most cars have them in unsealed rear trunks with nothing but some upholstery foam between them and the passenger cabin. Not like our cars at all. I don't think you're going to like it and it's going to be farting air through the seal.

What size is that sub? I kind of like what this person did, but I'd stick with my smaller 8" kicker and 0.5 cubic foot enclosure. Best of luck!

Ok - this is an awesome idea, and really well executed. I'm jealous. I'm still going with the sub in the frunk, and if it sucks I'll try something like this, but with a band pass enclosure to hide the driver if I can get away with the additional volume. My convertible GT has a small pass through with at least 4 inches of foam along with trunk lining etc. between the cabin and the trunk. There is zero airflow between the trunk and the cabin. Admittedly no metal but plenty in the way and it freaking rocks.
