yes i know i dont drive an altima anymore but boohoo i know most of these cats anyways so here is my new setup in the Z...

So after many random nights working on my box here and there i finally got my part finished. i have had the box finished as far as building goes for a couple weeks now and wow do i have a new respect for people who do fiberglass for a living...the project took me about 25-30 hours total just to do the box and cost me about 75 bucks, however i do work for an auto parts distributor so i got everything for cost. The only thing left is to have the box painted black and my buddy to custom airbrush the "Z" onto the box.

I went with two alpine type R 10's with an Alpine 1000w amp, the sound is pretty good for what i paid and there is plenty of room to upgrade when i get tired of these subs which will happen lol the bass is fairly clean and will shake the inside of the car like crazy yet i have absolutely no trunk rattles, the only that rattles is the rear windshield wiper sometimes lol

A second part that i kind of decided to do all at once was the monitor and 360 install. I had a spare xbox and battery so i thought y not!! i hooked the second battery up with an isolator and ran an 800watt power inverter which is way overkill but y not lol the screen is a 23" LG monitor that is ungodly thin and weights about 6 pounds, it has an hdmi port for the 360 so i went with it. the last step which im not sure about is sound...i am thinking a set of 6.5's hooked up to an amp powered by the rca's that u can get for the 360 and have them mounted on each side of the 360 but i am open to suggestions!! now on to the pics of how it looks so far!!

Shoutout to Phenomenal Vinyl for hooking me up with the vinyl for the interior parts and the 360 face!

exactly! seems counterintuitive :gotme

It looks awesome and much respect for building the box, but that's a lot of weight up high, especially being a track trim car.

well in a year when it is TT do u think that the extra 100lbs is going to matter when cranking out 450 to the wheels?? there arent any places around where i live to autox it really or road courses so it doesnt see any track time other then the quarter mile..the box can be removed very easily if i want to take it and the tv can be pulled in a matter of seconds and BAM back to stock...
