yeah dude, punctuation FTW.

With that limited info, these are my suggestions:

-If the puddle is in the rear driver and passenger's side foot wells, I'm gonna say its clogged sunroof drains.
-If the puddle is in the front seat passenger's side foot well, I'm gonna guess that your heater core is puking coolant into the cabin.

Krip, whats with the stereo question? lol

One of the most common causes is aftermarket stereo. At times the installer (if you have it installed by "professionals") would take shortcuts. Either they would use existing firewall hole and did not seal it properly or they would drill a new hole. Usually both of these would cause the leak and puddle inside the car.

I'll wager 1000 Internetz that it's sunroof drains. Depending on the going exchange rate that works out to ~76 pesos, ~$.14, or .0000129 Euro XD
