$700-$1400 for a few horse power? I think the most important thing to realize is that you won't get anything out of those horsepower. If you were trying to squeeze out every last hundredth of a second on track, maybe. But based on the mods you've spent your money on so far, that doesn't seem like the case. Might as well spend it on something you can enjoy more (or hell, maybe even save it as if that ever happens after buying an S).

I was thinking about these components. Any thoughts? I have read nothing but good reviews from other S2000 owners.

Why marine speakers? I would think they offer a similar speaker at a lower cost that is not marine certified, but I could be wrong.

Marine as in water usable. I have them in my boat just a different brand. I just thought they may sell the same speaker for cheaper that is not marine capable.

Edit: I was wrong, should have looked closer. All the polks are marine certified.
