Just got my GT and I can only count 7 speakers: 4 in the front door, 1 in the center of the instrument panel and 2 under the back window. Can any one let me know where the last 2 speakers are?
Also, I see that the mirrors don't have lights that turn on when you open the door. They have a plug where the light would be. Does anyone know if they are at least heated?

Here's another picture of the BOSE system that is in the book Mazda sent us. Gives layout of complete system.

Yes, the mirros are heated. They come on whenever the rear defroster is on (if I'm not mistaken). Those of us who drive our cars in winter will quickly find out how good they work.

As you talk about winter... how do you think it will be in snow? I drove my RX-7 all year round but i'm having cold feet about this one. Maybe i just don't want to damage it in the salt and sand.

One of the worst cars you can drive in the winter is a Camaro. I've driven my '85 IROQ Z-28 in the winter these past 9 winters. This car with its 255 tires would get stuck on 1/8 " snow on a flat road. Not good for winter. I put on skinny winter tires on steelies. Never got stuck once here in the GTA. I was amazed what a set of winter tires did. Mind you, you also have to know how to use the clutch and gas. I'm originally from northern Ontario (Sudbury0 so I did know a little about driving in winter prior to moving down here.
Having said this, I'm not worried in the least with how the car will handle in winter with 4 snow tires on it.

Like i said, i'm used to driving in the shitty Mtl winter and drove my RX7 5 winters in a row but i'm kinda scared of altering the paint with all the salt and stuff. I would deffinitely put steel wheels and thinner winter tires .
