Honda S2000

[Soup DeVille]

Man, I would want to hear this setup before I started cutting the car up.

I don't think I'd cut the car up for any speakers, no matter what they sounded like.

+1.

did the S2000 really only come with 1 speaker in each door, and that's it?!

It's a sports car, not a jukebox.

More uplevel than the Miata, which my non-LS one is equipped with door speakers (5"?) and tweeters on the tops of the doors.

Therefore, Miata was a 19k Jukebox

[CaminoRacer]

A-pillar tweeters should mount pretty easily and look okay. But yeah, listen to this setup first

[Raza]

Z4 has speakers behind the seats. 

[MrH]

I'm cutting up just these tiny plastic covers.  If it sounds like garbage, I can go buy some more for cheap and replace them.  They're $20 a piece from a dealership.

The head rest speakers look goofy

[Rich]

duct tape a boombox between the headrests.

Dude, get with the times. 


Duct tape an iPod dock between the headrests!

The previous owner swapped to trackhawk pads, swapped to stainless steel brake lines, and was running Motul RBF 600 brake fluid.

Hand brake light won't go off, which means it's probably low on brake fluid.  The more I work on this car, the more I realize the previous owner didn't really know what he was doing.  I dropped it off at the dealership and just told them to flush the brakes and put new fluid in.  That should fix it.

You get with the times. Gorilla tape an ipod dock between the headrests.

Strange, Honda owners are normally pretty fastidious around here......

[FlatBlackCaddy]

As for the stereo, I'd rock some 6x9's in a box, just throw them behind you where the top sits.

In 2001, yes. Later they added rear speakers.

[BimmerM3]

They added the roll hoop speakers in 2006, IIRC. At some point, I think they also upgraded the quality of the HU and door speakers. Not sure what year though. I don't think there were ever OEM rear speakers other than the roll hoop tweeters though, if that's what you meant.

OEM roll hoop tweeters:

[Rich]

dear god, that's the way to do it.

[MrH]

I looked those up.  Just for the plastic garnish to make all that work, you have to buy new roll hoops too (the surrounding plastic is sonic welded around the metal bars).  $176 per side, and that doesn't include the speakers or covers.  Brutal.

Doesn't sound too bad to me.

[MrH]

That's probably a $500 project for tiny tin can speakers next to my head.  I'll pass.

[CaminoRacer]

Put 6x9s on the outside of the door, so your neighbors at the stoplight can hear your fire beats

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Just watched this auction end.

23K miles, pretty low.

[Cookie Monster]

Damn, only $17k for that? Seems like a steal...

There was a nice red one around here for about the same money(similar miles too).

Looked and found this one on local listing.

They are cheap, IMO. Certainly NOT the next NSX(or maybe even Type R) with regard to resale.

[CALL_911]

We got ours (an '04 with 41k on it) for $17

[CaminoRacer]

$17

Lol deal of the century

[SJ_GTI]

Fo sho, I would have easily went as high as $20.

Mine was '01, 37k miles, got it for a hair under $15k.  Cracked rear plastic window though.

[68_427]

Yeah almost all low mileage AP1s are under 20k and most are around $15k from what seen.
