I posted to see if anyone else has this problem as a search turned up nothing..
Again, I had 6 1/2 speakers in the door and an alarm too. Taking off the panel, installer might have misaligned the cable in the panel..Was too busy to check this week, so will have to wait till Saturday..Im not blaming quality at all, just wondered if this was problematic or not as fix doesnt sound too bad to do myself. The way I see it, oem parts and quality is darn good and better than my Subaru and about the level of a Lexus IS250 at least (worked on one and drove around in it a few times).

As for domestic cars, I will never again buy one ever again if JDM cars are around...I had my share of Pontiac Firebirds in the 80's new that broke its tranny (5eat) twice and I sold it with 30k on the odometer.. Domestic cars have lots of HP and TQ, but the reliability isnt there and quality is neither (than Ive experienced). I since then bought a new 1990 Mitsu Eclipse GSX that lasted 15 yrs and died on me at 135k with power mods through my colleg days....Till now, I still have my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT 5 spd that dynoed 323hp and 376TQ at the wheels and only problem was a cooling fan relay and trying to sell as with my new toy Im hoping this Z will give me years of fun and avoid the dealership as much as I can ..
