That footwell area is the ingress/egress area for most of the wiring of the car. Lots of connections there, and the last thing you want to do is go on a hide and seek mission...with the battery connected.
First step in troubleshooting 'lectric chit'...as you well know, apparently...is visual inspection. Chances are you only disturbed a connection that may have been damaged and waiting for just such a moment to be known. You'll now need to remove the carpeted hush pannel and support section to inspect all the wiring there for loose connectors and or broken wires. And, the fuse panel, accessed with the passenger side door, may have a fuse (or two) blown. Do you have a FSM yet? If not, you'll want to put that on your list of accessories!
My suggestion would be to send up a distress flare to the WAZOO tribe. Armed with the FSM and their experience with the Z, you'll be in good hands.
JMO. Good luck. Keep us updated.

Hi Paul
I'm Paul too.. and thanks for responding.
Il earned all about disconnecting the neg terminal when I was removing the door panel and blew the courtesy light fuse when removing the screw behind the courtesy light ,which also turned off the radio and ac module untl I replaced the fuse....but I wasn;t trying to do anything with "lectic chit" at the time this happened..or at least I didn;t think I was ..all I did was peel back a little of the carpet that covers the sill were it overlaps the carpet that covers the rest of the floor to try and see if the speaker was indeed behind there, ..but apparently I did disturb something electrical..becasue the speaker stoped working and the radio and ac unit come on, but the displays flicker.. Interestingly though the, the courtesy lights still come on this time , so it's not the fuse I blew out the last time..
Are you saying I should remove the sill cover and the sill corpet to expose te speaker and see if I diconnected or broke a wire there, or remove that carpeted piece under the dash/steering wheel? (I wasn;t anywhere near that)
