He gave me the name of the shop who still has the box on file and can build additional ones (as well as the price and the guy he dealt with) if you're interested....PM me if you are.
I am currently working on designing my own box for that area and it's not quite as easy as I first thought, but I found a new, lightweight MDF board that one of the local stereo shops uses...gonna try that when I finally get my dimensions right. I'll post them if/when I complete the box. Please do the same if you finish yours before me. If I get overly frustrated, I'll just cave and buy the one that 350Z-RED has, but I really don't wanna spend nearly that amount. Anyway, good luck man.

my install doesnt sound to bad. i kept the stock HU and swapped out all the Speakers with Diamond Audio HEX Seriers Components, wired to a Ecslipe 100/4 amp and a 8" JL W7 in the stock sub location hook up to another Eclispe Amp. The Amps were installed in the cargo compartment behind the passenger seat. Smaller on top of the large amp and a peice of wood thats carpetted seperates them and hold the top amp in place. Two computer fans were installed in there along with a capcitor.
Basically if you were to open my car up you would see no sub box, amps, or wires. in fact it looks stock except for the tweeters are larger than stock. Looks and sound pretty sick too.

You know? I've searched and browsed for days. I even contacted WickedCAS and I STILL don't know what their "glovebox enclosure" is (they don't respond). Is it just a plate for the passenger side? If so, it sucks, right? Can it go behind the driver? Does it suck?
In short: Does it suck?
I, like a few others here, are not looking to announce our lack of taste to a 3 block radius. I just want some decent bass to listen to John Tesh (kidding). Can I PLEASE have a box that fits in the stock location, already!
And, on topic, why is it not possible to use Dynamat in the stock location to seal up all the various corners, seams and holes?

Marineris,,,, "wickedcas" box does fit the stock bose location and the pass side glove box. Its a complete enclosure that is made of fiberglass.
No such thing as a "plate" from wickedcas. There are fully fiberglass "boxes" for 10's that locate on the driver side and pass side cubby's. From what I have "SEARCHED" and read here,,,they do not suck. But, I guess it depends on what type of bass you are trying to achieve.
All else,,,,try www.wickedcas.com they have a photo gallery for the 350z,,,has photos of the enclosures....
Oh and "no",,,it doesn't suck..

hmm.. sounds like a more expensive route.. can da infinity basslink 10" fit in the back??? anybody know.. i think that's the route i'm goin to since i jes want to add base in my audio, jes for me.. not for the whole neighborhood.. i read that its decent, accurate, and for the most part simple and fairly cheap.

Here's what I built for my '08:
It's covered by the stock Blose grill, which I dynamated on the inside. Clean, tight bass, and just what I was looking for. Not like a pair of 12's, and it's not going to blow the hatch off, but nothing in that location is going to have that sort of power. I was going for accuracy at normal listening volumes while driving.

FULL FIBERGLASS LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION, UNLIKE OTHERS.
YOU CAN ALSO ORDER WITH A 13" SLIM SUB AS WELL
Many years of experience with 350Z installations and I will tell you time and time again.
The only good soultion is to have a sub firing down in the 350Z glove box area. (stock location)
We spend days developing this box and we have 100's of these enclosures out there with excellent results.
Not to beat a dead horse but, if you fire forward or up in that area you will be wasting your efforts.
