Honda S2000

[MrH]

  Had to shuffle cars around this morning and got to try to move the top a bit on the S2000.  All the rain and some sunshine did the trick.  I can open and close it easily from inside the car now.

Coilovers have arrived!

Have you even finished installing your stereo system?

Might have to shelve the racelands for a few weeks.

Lol.

If the Si was ever totaled tomorrow (cross my fingers), the S2K would be on the very short list to replace it with.  I see decent mileage AP2s around here for low to mid 20s.

Marathon day of work on this stupid thing.  Getting the power line for the stereo through the firewall was a huge pain in the ass.  I'm not enjoying this at all, I just want it to be over.

I have all the door panels apart now too for the new speakers.  But feeding the new speaker wire through the grommet for the doors is going to be awful.

I'm dreading my audio install but that shit is about the last thing I want to hand over to a shop. Just gotta do it in small bites. Run the power cable one day, do the radio another day, wire the speakers another day... all in all it's a shitload of work to try and do in one swipe... the last time I did a full install in one go was probably on summer break in college.

[MrH]

I just want to get the door speakers, head unit, amp and sub wired and working.  I'll worry about adding the rear speakers later.  I just want the car to be drivable again with two seats and roll bars and everything.

[12,000 RPM]

That's pretty much the whole system lol. I guess you already started so you might as well finish... but this is exactly why I break shit up over time.

[MrH]

Well, I pretty much have to do it in the day light. I'm off work today and Monday, so worse case is I work on it the rest of the weekend.

Here's the amp and subwoofer. Got power, ground, the turn on line, all the RCA cables, all that is run. Head unit is in and working. Sirius antenna and microphone are wired in. Controller to get it to interface with the dash controls is in and working.



Now comes the monster task of running speaker wire. Once that is done, I can put this amp rack in, hook it all up, and test it. If it all works as planned, I'll start the interior reassemble.

Then all I'll have left is figure out how to mount the rear speakers and wire though, run the sub remote into the center console, install the phone mount, and then hardwire a car charger into it.

Should have just put an header and exhaust system on it and left the radio off.

[Laconian]

Should hook up an engine sound simulator to give that 400hp/L weedwhacker some bass.

[Laconian]

Now that I think about it, why do we use HP/L? That's mixing imperial and metric systems. KW/L?

HP/gal

[Laconian]

Dynes per hogshead

[Rupert]

HP per cubic furlong

[CaminoRacer]

What's so hard about hooking up speakers?

[MrH]

Routing speaker wires through the rat's nest of wires in the way

[93JC]

Dynes per hogshead

A dyne is a unit of force, not power. 1 dyn = 0.00001 N




Also, I suggest British Thermal Units per hour per butt.

[Rupert]

Use a fish tape type thing. Be careful of possible sharp edges.

Horsepower isn't necessarily an imperial metric (there is a variety of definitions, some of them based on metric measurements). Hp/CID isn't an uncommonly used figure in lots of drag race and hot rod circles.

Horsepower is a silly measurement anyways, really only useful when comparing horse driven mine water pumps.

I think about the GM 3800 every time I use a urinal.

I think about the GM 3800 every time I use a urinal.

For me, I think of my brother's crappy V6 Mustang.

[CaminoRacer]

My urinal visits are much more enjoyable, because I think of 3.8L Porsche 911s.

[MrH]

Phew. Done. And it all works on the first try. Gotta set filters, gains, etc. But sound coming out of both speakers, sub is bumping.

Going to prewire for the behind the seat speakers and just do it whenever. Hopefully I'll have the whole thing back together and get my garage back.

Shoulda got a carport.....

PS- your sig pic is just oh so old

[MrH]

I got signatures turned off. Once I detail both vehicles, I'll try to get a picture of them together
