I'm trading in my 2000 Maxima within the next year, for an '06 G35x. Planning on keeping (i.e. transferring) most of the gear I have in the Maxima.

Current car & system (see p. 4)

HU - Eclipse CD5000
Fronts - Focal 165K2P UV
Rears - Alpine '05 Type 5.25" (HU-powered)
Amp (fronts) - Soundstream '05 TRA560.2
Amp (subs) - Orion '05 1200D
Subs - 2 X ID IDMax12D4, 2 X 1.52cu ft sealed 1.5" baffle
Sub (winter, to save space) - ED 16Ov.2D2, 1.8cu ft sealed

Main beef with the system: hole in the rear deck is the only cabin venting point for the subs since I got an amp wall in there. Rear deck - way too much rattling at moderate-high/high volume. Will get annoying rattling sounds on hip-hop at moderate volume levels. All that happens with both sub setups.

Items for consideration in next system: the HU's 8V pre-outs, the Focals, maybe the SS amp, the 1200D (been reliable) depending on the sub(s) configuration in the G.

What I did in a head rush last night: Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD (G35x), Kicker 07DS650 (Maxima) and JBL P562 (G35x) from Woofersetc. First major spendings since pay raise in July, it's not all that bad.

Maxima - sold w/

HU - Eclipse CD5000
Fronts - Kicker 07DS650 (HU-powered)
Rears - Alpine '05 Type 5.25" (HU-powered)

G35x - new install, post-Bose removal

HU - Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD
Fronts - Focal 165K2P UV
Rears - JBL P562 (HU-powered)
Amp (fronts) - Soundstream '05 TRA560.2
Amp (sub(s)) - Orion 1200D

That's where I'd appreciate your input. Sub(s). There's a pass-through for skis or whatnot in the G35x, and I was hoping to overcome the venting problem by... I don't know. Trunk baffle, new 'port-to-cabin' enclosure, bandpass using the pass-through, ... ... again, I have no idea and I'd prefer not get wet on that part of the install as I don't own tools for wood work such as table/jig saws - plus I wouldn't have any work space to be in, fvck it. So I'm aiming at getting the work done in Montreal, I got 2 shops in mind.

Design ideas? A couple things to keep in mind...

- Extra budget (i.e. outside of install costs @ shop) is CDN$500;
- Subs on hand: 2 X IDMax D4, 1 X 16Ov.2 D2
- Orion 1200D: 1200 rms @ 1 ohm, ~720rms @ 2 ohm
- G35x's trunk: 14.8 cu ft total, willing to sacrifice 3/4 of it
- Where would the amps go? On the sides of the box??

Whatever is not used will be sold. For example, if an idea says that one Max only is to be used w/ different sub amp --> Ov.2, 1 X Max, 1200D would be sold. Probably locally.

Thanks in advance for any valid suggestion!
