Well, I'd guess you have a wire shorting against the chassis under the carpet.
Do you have any non standard audio equipment (sometimes this can mean taking a live feed from the battery to the back of the car), this could be a prime suspect.
If I were you I'd take up the carpet and look for bare wires and/ or scorch marks indicating a short.

also I have no sub or wiring in the boot,it sounds like the noise is coming from the fuse panel under the right kick plate..the only thing I have had done was to have a immobiler fitted,
