This is my 2002 Nissan Maxima SE. The only modifications I have done to the car have been a couple of handling upgrades, and totally upgrading the stock Bose system with aftermarket gear. The addition of the Courtesy front strut tower bar, and the Progress rear antisway bar made a big improvement in the way the car feels and handles. I mainly attribute this to the Progress RSB. The G35 rims also give it a little wider stance. The aftermarket audio equipment made a substantial improvement over the Bose system.
This picture shows the car with a set of rims from an Infiniti G35 Coupe.

I really like these Audisons, they pack a good amount of power and are very small in size considering they are class A/B amplifiers.
The CDA-9887 is a very nice unit. It has good sound tuning capabilities, a nice screen that is easy to read, and is easy to use.
This is the VCRAK remote gain module for the LRx 1.400. The thing that I really like about it is that you can turn down the subwoofer volume all the way. At the center position it is at 0db, and it also lets you dial in an additional 6db of additional gain. I find this to come in handy with older recordings that have low bass content.
Rainbow Profi Phase Plugs
No install picks as I forgot to snap some when I put them in. I have the tweeters in the factory location, A-pillars. The midrange drivers are in the doors mounted on 3/4" MDF mounts that I made. The doors have quite a bit of Second Skin Damplifier on them. Both outer and inner skins are covered.
