Nice work dude. What you can do with the metal bar behind the armrest is simply cut it out with a small grinding disc. It's not that important from a reinforcement standpoint.

So that entire metal bar behind the rear seats is expendable? Always thought that did a bit of what a Rear Strut Tower Brace did.

Nah, just bolts the middle of the seat down to prevent bounce/flex when nobody's sitting there.

I cut mine out, leaving only the bolt sections and covering it with masonite-backed vinyl.

Do the Australians have the same Maxima's as us? I recall reading that certain Max's from Australia had the foldable backseat?

Nah, i don't really want to cut the bar away. I like versatility when it comes to my car so in case i sell it, i don't want so many missing parts and anything permanently gone. Also i made the box in 4 pieces (left empty box, sub box, amp rack and base) so that i could take it out if i needed more space for something.

I think you kind of answered your own question there. From what I understand for Edzmax they have a different model Max with folding rear seats.

if you look again...you shouldn't have to cut that metal bar.....if i'm not mistaken, some bolts hold it in place and you can just unscrew them and remove the bar......i know for sure my bar is removed and i didn't cut anything and it can be placed back!!!

So I'm guessing it doesn't do much in terms of stabilizing the car. If it's OK and not hard to take off, that would give me a lot of options in what I can do trunkwise.
