I haven't tried this but there was a thread somewhere on the board about packing the compartment in the trunk with towels or something. I seem to remember some saying that it reduced the drone. But I think in cars with the HK stereo there is a amp there that needs space to keep cool? I'm not completely sure though because I haven't raise the full panel beyond the battery area.
I have HK stereo and my amp is not located there but inside the driver's side rear trunk side panel. I know that others' amp are located there though. I guess it all depends on the equipment configuration of each car and/or the market, you need to check that first. I can tell you that IF you don't have the amp there you will very likely notice a significant improvement in minimizing or eliminating the drone just by putting a towel etc. in it. I tried the opposite, let the trunk base cover a bit loose from the edges like when it is not properly/tightly closed and I couldn't believe how high and annoying drone became.
