   Ok well youll need some planks of wood to raise it.....depending how high you want it depends on the wood....you want a 2" raise a 2x1 will be fine...then most people use MDF or plywood would work....now measure from the back of the seats to the edge of the boot... then cut the 2x1 about 2" less...you will need atleast 2 of these but 4 would be better....then cut the plywood or mdf to the size and shape of the boot, if you want a amp under it (which i presume you do) then cut a hole for the amp....now....nail the 2x1s evenly on the underside of the ply or mdf....and the cover with what ever you want...and screw the amp in underneith and slide the whole thing in....not sure if that helped....so heres a diagram of undernieth it (bit you wont see)

   Could you not take out the black plastic/rubber cover on the boot floor & use it as a template?

   i will be doing this soon for the boot i will be taking a template from the boot carpet and for the bit where the rear bench was i will be making a template from cardboard hope this helps remember the higher you want your false floor the smaller it will have to be as the boot gets smaller the higher you go if that makes sence.

   also higher up you go the shape of the boot changes, so when you draw around the carpet it doesnt fit snugg
