First off, thanks for all the compliments, but all the praise should go to my installer. I designed the entire system and components, but the execution came from him. It took him almost a month to finish. We used automotive paint to match the car color. All pieces were first completed, pre-assembled to make sure of fit, then sent to the body shop to paint in the booth, and finally re-assembled in the car for the finished product.
Tony is also correct. Sub frequencies will penetrate thru just about any rear seat w/o too much problem. Just to clarify, this install is NOT in a Maxima. It's on a Lexus GS400. I'm a long time member of the Maxima community and still try and contribute. I still have my 95, which hopefully will come out of the shop soon.
The subs are facing into the box only as part of the design. I personally liked the look of the magnet structure better than the just the cone. The cone is nice, just not as nice as the magnets. It also makes for a more impressive look at the subs. I also designed the system to be able to still use the greater majority of my trunk, which I can still use when the factory floor mat is in place. To answer your question, there is no armrest walk-thru. But there is this:
BTW, the stuff all over is just a reflection from the direct sunlight, it's not dust or dirt stuff.
