finally,, i'm done
F8ck me that a dirty engine bay. 
If the bass is ok, there is no need to make it airtight, but caulk foam around the joints would make a real tight fit...as close as youll get to airtight without sealing it in permanently.

Doh......but still....take an air hose to that bad boy....
Yea, so go to a good home improvement store or hardware store, and get caulk foam. It looks like a thick piece of foam spaghetti. Its used to fill joints between stones on buildings. I would get like 1/2 inch thick, and shove that sucker in. Youll be 98% airtight.

I've been to Kuwait, trust me it would look like that the day after the airhose treatment - the dust is appalling there.

Its very cheap, and will work well. You can also use weatherstripping.
my question:
looking at your power wire run -- it appears like you're running it towards the front of the car from the battery... and over the heatshield...
where is it going? there's a nice little grommet to get you in to the vehicle behind the battery.
i'd also be a little concerned about exposing the wire (even in loom) to the temps near the exhaust...
and i think they are suggesting you line the point of the board/well interface where they contact each other with the foam.
