Custom Trunk Build and Audio Enhancements for a 2018 Infiniti Q70
By Audio Designs & Custom Graphics
At Audio Designs & Custom Graphics, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality custom work that exceeds our clients’ expectations. Recently, we had the opportunity to transform the trunk and interior of a 2018 Infiniti Q70 into a stunning showcase of both form and function. The owner approached us after an unsatisfactory installation by another shop. Their setup featured an unsightly air compressor arrangement and a poorly placed air tank, leaving the trunk cluttered and inefficient. We accepted the challenge to revamp the trunk and elevate the system to the next level.
Here’s how we achieved this transformation:
Repositioning the Air Tank for Maximum Space Efficiency
The air suspension system’s air tank, previously installed on the trunk floor, consumed valuable cargo space and lacked aesthetic appeal. We relocated the tank to the top of the rear deck, where it now hangs securely. This adjustment freed up trunk floor space for better functionality and gave the area a cleaner, more organized appearance. The repositioning also ensured the tank remains accessible without compromising usability.
Custom-Built Floor with Flushed Acrylic Window and Etching
To clean up the trunk floor, we designed and fabricated a custom floor panel that fits seamlessly into the spare tire well. This panel was finished with high-quality black carpeting, perfectly complementing the trunk’s interior.
At the center of this floor panel is a flushed acrylic window, a striking visual feature. The clear acrylic is precision-etched with the Infiniti logo and the word “Infiniti,” adding a personalized, high-end touch. We further enhanced this effect by integrating chasing RGB LED lights. These customizable, color-changing lights illuminate the etching, offering a variety of patterns that can match any mood or showcase the trunk at car shows. For occasions requiring a more subtle look, a top plate insert can cover the acrylic window, creating a clean, streamlined surface.
Rearranging the Air Compressor Setup
The previous air compressor setup was cluttered and visually unappealing. We reorganized its components, ensuring a logical and aesthetically pleasing layout. The reconfiguration not only improved functionality but also made maintenance more straightforward.
Custom Phantom Fit Enclosure for Subwoofer
To house the client’s Rockford Fosgate R2 12-inch subwoofer, we created a stack-fab phantom fit enclosure on the passenger side of the trunk. Using a combination of high-grade wood and fiberglass resin, we designed a durable enclosure that seamlessly fits the trunk’s contours while preserving cargo space.
The subwoofer is powered by the client’s Audiopipe four-channel amplifier, which also drives the vehicle’s mids and highs. By carefully tuning the amplifier and optimizing the subwoofer’s placement, we achieved deep, punchy bass that complements the overall audio system without overwhelming it.

Rear Seat Entertainment: Dual Android Monitors
For rear-seat passengers, we installed two sleek 15.6-inch Android-based monitors behind the headrests. These high-definition screens offer endless entertainment options, including streaming movies, browsing apps, and gaming. With meticulous installation, these monitors look like factory options while delivering superior functionality. They’re ideal for long drives or keeping passengers entertained on special occasions.
Sound Shield Installation for Reduced Noise
To enhance the driving experience, we applied Sound Shield soundproofing material across the entire trunk floor. This premium material minimizes vibrations and road noise, resulting in a quieter cabin environment. The soundproofing not only improves audio clarity but also enhances overall comfort for both the driver and passengers.
Addressing the Client’s Concerns
Our client initially faced an unsatisfactory setup, including a subpar subwoofer enclosure and a poorly organized air compressor. By redesigning the trunk layout and incorporating custom elements like the etched acrylic window and phantom fit enclosure, we delivered a solution that addressed practical issues while elevating the trunk’s aesthetic appeal. The client was thrilled with the results, praising the increased functionality, personalized details, and overall transformation.
