Alti, congrats on the install. I've been curious as to how it would come out. I remmeber a while back seeing pics of its skeleton.

Also congrats on the engagement!

Wow, your install came out great. I never thought anything bigger than an 8" would look good or fit in the altima, but you proved me wrong once i saw your worklog. Looks really clean, how did you manage to keep the AC vents?

@Intellaworks - Thanks, I ended up useing Lycra as the wrapping material, that is the only way i could get it to work in thoose corners we were talking about.

@Kalt - Basicly just put them in higher up then the stock location. I still have to work out the duct work to connect them completely. Right now the air blows out them no problem and because of the angles involved the natural path for the air to take is strait out the vents. For a perminate fix and to do it right I am going to try to fab something out of HVAC or flex duct material.

Ditto.

It looks great, I envy your screen. Now all those hours of sanding paid off, really good install. And it looks like you got the dvd rom working.

ya i had to resolder some of the power connect leading to my hubs, the dvd requires alot of juice and my first soldering job was less then perfect. I noticed all of the USB periferials are working much better now too.

It is a amazing how much better the car looks when you actualy put the wires where they belong and reattach all the dash pieces you removed.

(it also helps to use some armorall)
