The Best Sounding 350Z i have ever done :) pics...
Great job! Particularly the choice of front components.
I need to have my buddy Hoss pop in here to look at your false floor because the step-by-step pics really show people what's underneath and what it took to make it look so good.

they arent boards, they are grilles 
they are an outter wooden frame, with the cneter cut out, a piece of matching grille mesh attached on top, and then grille cloth stretched over the entire thing. if you ever see a home audio cover, its the same thing

i have heard hte MLK a decent amount, its an extremely nice speaker
i would put the seas reference a step above hte MLK 165 IMO...to me better midbass extension, and better upper freq as well. the MLK165 would prolly line up better iwth the Seas performance set.
the seas reference, i honestly like about as uch as the MLK 2 set, but i would pick the seas over hte mlk2 beucsae its a good 500-600 bucks cheaper
Seas is knwon for extremely high end home audio, their drives and drivers they make for other brands are used in HT systems costing into the 6 figures hehe

I'm offered new sets of MLKs at 599 a set, thankfully not the 1k a set retail. I'm sure coupled with the Alpine tiny amp, it will sound just fine. I'm not aiming for the ultimate in SQ. If I was, it wouldn't be with MLK's.

Are your kick panels fiberglass or abs?

sorry i cannot, these custom installs, even though many way look similar, is unique to each car. its a thoughtout pricess include a series of platforms, supports, wells, that evnetually meets with a fake floor cut otu to shape. even if i duplicate all the exact pieces for someone and shipped it, it still may not come out the same unless its put together exactly the same way, down tot he last 1/8 of an inch.
this would be somehting you want to give your local custom shop a hollar for...sorry
