Re: Rear Speakers or None?

I'm assuming from your profile that you do not have the Touring model. The Base and Nismo Zs do not have rear speakers.

It is advised, due to the size and placement of the speakers that would fit back there, that you would be better off putting a quality set of components in the front (powered by an amp, ideally) if you wish to improve the quality of sound in your Z.

Thanks for the explanation, Matt. I read and re-read the audio portion of my owner's manual and didn't see any reference to that. It strikes me as being so odd though that my car doesn't have rear speakers. I can live without them and/or do as you suggest but I still find it strange---especially on the very expensive Nismo. Is there an obvious reason for this that I'm not getting?

Base has no rear speakers for price reasons.

Nismo has no rear speakers for weight/performance reasons.
