Done! 
Will post pics later today (after I wake up). Still need to get a wire I lost between swaps that allows the head unit to have RCA ins and then I need to tune the amp. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Well I finally got around to uploading pics of the install. Here ya go..
Stripped interior with stock system still in.
Xbox chillin in the glove box.
Where I ran the power wire through the firewall.
Picture of the battery and power wire.
Light blue line is where I ran the wire and the arrow points to where I connected it to the battery. Love it how Nissan provides an extra terminal.
After I ran the wires through the center of the car below the carpet.
Bunch of RCAs, remote wire and speaker wires.
Drivers side door with components installed. (Before I drilled the holes in the sail panels for the crossovers).
Close up picture of the component setup.
My dash in the middle of being put back together.
The amplifier just chillin in the cubby behind the drivers seat. Decided to put some extra carpet in there that I had layin around. (Cleaned up the wires too).
Passenger door with components installed.
Close up shot of the components. Tweeter is in the sail panel this time.
Ahh. My sound system is complete... for now
Overall I'm pretty happy with the install. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures. If anyone has any questions about the Bose -> Aftermarket install, I will do my best to help answer them. Thanks for everyones help.

Not that anyone ever looks at these, but I thought I would post a few more finished pics of the amp. 
I saw a thread where someone was selling their amp mounting bracket on here and thought it looked like a good idea so I decided to go to Home Depot and managed to get a scrap piece of MDF for $1 and then the brackets needed for $2.79 x 4, a pack of wood screws and washers to hold the brackets to the MDF for less than $1 each and some felt-like carpet and glue from Wal Mart totalling about $8. Not bad looking/functionality for an amp rack that cost ~ $25. Anyways, thanks to whoevers thread I saw this on for the idea. 
And if you don't feel like doing all the labor yourself, I would say its worth investing in one of these.
Well here are a few more pics..
The amp on it's newly built rack
Installed in the compartment where my Bose sub used to be.
Another angle to show where it mounted up in the back.
Hope someone benefits from these pictures!

I don't but I used some plastic glue that I bought at Wal-Mart on the sides of the screen where they touch the cubby. Works great so far. (I have the screen with the black plastic housing. For the screen that doesn't have the plastic housing and is just a metal housing, you can use the 4 small black screws that held the back compartment on to screw in behind the screen.)

Well.. decided to get rid of the Alpine and go with the Pioneer D3. I've always wanted navigation and this has proved to be a pretty sweet setup. With the D3 and the LCD screen I can have a movie or music video playing over the LCD screen while using my navigation on the D3. Here are a few pictures..
Hope you guys like

Yeah I definitely like the double din better I got my D3 for < $1000 which was pretty good for me. A buddy of mine has the AVH-P4000 in his Civic. While it's nice for the money, I would definitely pay a little extra for the D3. I use my nav a lot more than I thought I would.
