There was a thread started about this almost a year ago, you can start by doing a search using the same wording as your title.

Take out your amps and speakers. Problem solved!! Hahahahah


But really, you probably just need to put new seals on the headlights, and around the trunk.

You need to replace the rubber gaskets around the trunk, they may be worn out.

The tail light seals are certainly a possibility. But so are a dozen other thing. If you aren't sure where the water is coming in...

- Remove all of the trunk liners.
- Get in trunk, with a flashlight.
- Close trunk, and have a friend douse the trunk with a hose.
- See where the water is getting in.

Ah yes... Perhaps I should've said "have a trusted friend douse the trunk with a hose."
