Hey guys, reading through this thread I thought I'd post another option for anyone looking for 6.5" spacers for their S2000.

I just ordered a set of Modifry spacers. These are a new product for him and a limited run. Price is reasonable and they are custom made to fit a replacement door speaker without any further modification.




Here is the link:

I got mine from car speaker adapters.

Here's my install: http://www.speaker-installation-photos.com/Honda/S2000/S2000-15/37349453_xKLfkc#!i=3099719398&k=qwdDzPX

I also got some money back.

Thanks for posting this. Very thorough and enough detail that a noob like myself feels like I can do this now.
So, how is the sound of those JL TR650Csi? Are you running them from the HU alone, or is there some amping involved?
Trying to decide on speakers now, was looking at the Polk DB6501's, they have been installed without issue by a few forum members.

^I think I would like the speakers more if they had a little more bass. I'm a total noob when it comes to car audio so I probably don't have it setup right, in addition, I'm running it off the head unit only. An amp would probably help.

I am sold on modifry spacers. Their products are top notch. This seems new as I've ordered something off their site a week ago and I am sure this wasn't on their website.

Thanks for the help guys.

Try installing a foam baffle behind the speaker. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FMWRUE/ Though if you want significant bass you're going to need a subwoofer.

^Nice, I'll try them out. Are they supposed to go between the door and the spacer or the spacer and the speaker? I noticed that Crutchfield comes in 2&1/2" depth and 3" depth, Amazon doesn't give you a choice, perhaps this is why some reviewers are saying it doesn't fit for them. I think the smaller one should fit for me, but I'm tempted to get the bigger one,does anyone know how deep our door is and if the 3" one would fit?

The one I linked there is the shallow 2.5" and should fit perfectly. The front window stop should just barely push in on the back of the baffle, but it won't interfere with the window operation. I put them between the adapter ring and the door to help further isolate the speaker from the door sheet metal. I'm still considering throwing some MLV (dynamat like stuff) around them to cut any resonance down.

Okay, thanks! Ordered!
