No, actually, I goofed a little. After messing with the door connector (and remembering that i screwed it up royally on my last z) i saw a "shortcut" and a litle rectangular hole below the connector. I didn't put 2 and 2 together that this was where the kickpanel clips in to until well putting the kickpanel back on after everything was hooked up!
The kickpanel has 2 of those clips so the bottom one still clips in and the door sill trim holds it into place fine.

Yes that fire extinguisher is a good idea. some my laugh but i have a story where that would have come in very handy. driving along in my old SL listening to my stereo when what do i smell but burning. so i pull over and open my door expecting to have to go up front under the hood to find the problem. NOPE the wires had shorted to my motion sensor and i was standing in the street ripping smouldering wires out of the back of my car, under the bench behind the driver seat. crazy story, almost caught fire!

A local autocrosser's civic actually did catch fire in the rear from stereo wiring while in grid between runs. Mad dash with the fire extinguishers on course kept his whole car from burning up. Make sure to use a fuse!

I had a 90 Wrangler with a carb that had a punctured fuel line catch fire outside a bar at 4:30a while warming it up. I was able to put out most of the fire with that cheesy "kiddie" extinguisher that every wrangler keeps on the roll bar to look like a tough guy. worked like a charm!

Well, I am starting with my doors (since my door skins are at Nazar's getting worked on) and using Raamat and ensolite. I plan on doing the trunk/hatch as well since I seem to get a lot of road noise from the rear and for the addition of a sub, I think it will help. Rick at Raamaudio suggested the cubbys/panels behind the seats since there is a lot of open space between the panels that transmit a lot of noise. Rick is very active on the Subaru sites and is a wealth of knowledge, so I will probably follow his suggestions. He can hook you up with a roll 50sq. ft of deadening, a few yards of ensolite (open cell foam) and adhesive spray for the foam for far less than just 36sq. ft of dynamat extreme. Check out his site at raamaudio.com
