Honda S2000

[MrH]

Buying an amp rack off a guy on the S2ki forum   That'll save me a lot of time and frustration.

Next step is to rip apart the door panels and mount the next door speakers and copy this guy: http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/853019-installed-rear-speakers/

Inb4 Mike is ordering new interior panels

[MrH]

I had the boring grayish radio door cover.  Bought the AP2 one that looks better.

I did a little skimming through the chat thread after that post and noticed that Ohio Kevin mentioned something about borrowing a truck from his brother, so he wasn't even out at that point in time. It's been awhile lol.

This thing gets surprisingly high reviews:

I could fit it right next to the 4-channel amp in the same area.  I think it'll be enough to cut some of the bass responsibilities off of the component speakers.

Good choice for a compact. Great price, too.

Want....

[68_427]

Yeah I'd love that as well

[MrH]

It'll be kind of buried though, so I don't know how it'll perform.  Basically, it'll be in the spare tire area, which is in this dead zone between the trunk and the passenger seat.  The convertible top sits in a shelf above it when it's lowered.  There's some trunk trim that separates it from the rest of the trunk.  There's a plastic panel and the passenger seat separating it from the cabin.

I guess I'll buy it and see how it performs.

Bass is usually pretty good at not giving too many fucks about barriers, which is partly why you can hear the teenager's bass bumping a block away, but not the hi-hats.  Those wavelengths are yuuuuuuge (a 40Hz wave is nearly 30ft)

I think that would work better inside the passenger compartment! Just my .02!

Put it under the passenger seat so the ladies can have some fun of their own.

This is shaping up to be a bad ass build

I feel like you're mocking me

Bruh, new top, new stereo door cover, subwoofer that pleases the ladies? 10/10 carspin build thread.

[MrH]

Wheels tires and coilovers are coming too.  It's a bit more exciting than The Manhattan Project ™

[Cookie Monster]

Oh snap. Shots fired.


But do you have a sweet HID retrofit?!

[MrH]

HIDs are standard on S2000s

I do have a kit waiting for the 4Runner though

Huh, I forgot there was a difference. I'm pretty sure the AP1 I drove was before AP2s existed, so I don't think it's possible that it was already swapped out.

It's kinda funny that they put the cover in there. It's almost like they expected owners to replace the HU and wanted to give them a stock way to hide their upgraded stereo from thieves.

[MrH]

It might have been upgraded on later AP1s. There were a handful of changes between 2001 and 2002. Biggest change was the center console. My center tunnel is pretty much just covered in carpet. No leather center console at all

Yeah, they made some changes almost every year, even if they were really minor. Some were more major. Even the suspension was tweaked surprisingly often, plus there were differences between international markets. If you really get into all the details, there have been A LOT of different S2000 iterations.

Does that match, or isn't it supposed to?
