Question regarding DIY for anybody who has, or would DIY: do I solder or crimp the wires if installing a HU (dnx5120) and speakers into a 370Z?

you'll be fine with crimping the wires. Just make sure your crimps are solid (give a little tug on them after each crimp. I've installed several radios using crimp connectors and as long as you make solid connections you should be fine.

I do not favor crimp connectors when possible. They work fine just I put more trust in solder and heat shrink. But you can use crimp connectors. They will work fine.
