05 sedan install, 4080 12" box, Alpine Amps, and more!

I just wanted to post up my install, for all to see and comment on. Much props to 4080... man, this box KICKS. He made a 12" version for me too... (Thanks 4080).

Everything is in and done, except waiting for some more grill material to cover the amps with (so no making fun of OK? lol).

System is basically all Stinger wire and cap, Optima yellow-top battery, stock deck, David Navone adjustable converter, Infiniti Kappa seperates and rear coaxials, Apline amps and woofer. System also has a remote bass **** in the console and sounds sweet. Enjoy, comment, and post all of your pics too!!

Finish panel in place, and other angle in trunk.

I have a MILLION photos and tips for folks doing a sedan install if anyone is interested. For me, I wanted my spare and my golf clubs to fit, and they do, so "mission accomplished". I also have pics from my 04 coupe trunk install with the same equipment, but different amp rack and sub enclosure. Again, more than willing to share.

Ask and you shall receive...

So, this was the same equipment in my 04 G35 coupe. I have so many pics, it's really ridiculous, but these are some quick ones.

The design:
I removed the spare tire, and built an amp rack that would fit flush to the factory floor. The rack was most pre-assembled outside the car, and was fitted with 2 cooling fans (one intake and one exhaust). I created plexiglass covers for everything, but ended up leaving the woofer exposed and raise the floor around the woofer about 3". I created "pockets" for the neon lights, and back painted everything white so the neons would be STRONG and BRIGHT. All the neons go to the music and the sensors are mounted to the box. I created the plexiglass pattern and had a blast on this install. I also removed the (2) 6x9 speakers in the rear deck and left them open for vents into the cab.... the woofer was EXTREMELY LOUD. Awesome sound and bass quality.

So, here are the pics...
