I am picking my 2005 s2k on Friday after checking almost every website by the hour for months. I'll post pictures when I pick it up but need some advice before I do. I want to keep the stock radio so I figured the best way to listen to the music off my phone is to buy a USB/aux converter for it. Where would be a good place or brand to look at?

Welcome aboard.

You'll find a radio is largely futile in these cars. Top down and you can't hear much. Change the exhaust and you can hear less.

Not sure if your '05 will have the OEM rear speakers in the headrests like my '06. They help a bit and the radio is audible in the city, but at highway speeds the only music is the wind, intake, and exhaust.

i was going to get new component speakers in hopes it would help. i'm also replacing them cause my OEM ones are out lol.

Chuck are you talking about the tweeters in the headrest? I'm looking to replacing those as well and wondering if its even worth it

It has the stock speakers but also have the OEM hardtop. Went around 80 when I drove it and didn't hear any wind. But it does have the invidia q300 exhaust so that's the majority of what I heard was lol

I only drive with the roof up when forced to by rain or 100°+ heat (!).

Never had a hard top but in my car roof up or down the Q300 would drown out everything between 3000 and 4000rpm. 80mph wasn't bad.
