Does the S2K have room for a decent sound system?

I notice you can put tweeters on the S-pod, what did you use 60N5.5?

I used Boston FC420's. They are a component system. The tweeters are just the right size that you don't have to modify the car. I also prefer drilling a small hole for the wires to enter. Caps can be had that will fill the hole if you ever decide to remove these S-Pods (I DON'T THINK YOU WILL).

I also added a volume step down control made by PAC for the rears. I mounted it on the dash on the right, next to the audio controls. I can therefore turn the knob up or down to control the volume on the rears without jacking with the fader on the radio. This is a must when you are driving. You don't have to ever take your eyes of the road.

Getting back to the S-Pods. Mark2002 recommends 5.25in speakers, but the space in limited and they don't allow the resonation that a quality set of 4's will provide. How do you say hearing your tunes at 80mph?

Regards,

60N5.5

For years I swore by my Boston Acustic Pro Series for my front speakers. When I went to have my trunk I was going to have a rear set installed. My installer recomended I swap out my BA's for a set of Dynaudio's. Personally, I had never heard of them, but I trusted them and went ahead with it. I dont regret it one little bit. Theese speakers are the clearest things I have ever heard! Seriously guy's, if your looking for a set of front speakers and wont mind the $600.00+ they will set you back, check them out! You wont need S-pod's or any rear speakers with theese things.

The model I have is the 240-MKII's.
Here's a link...Dynaudio

I respect yellowscreamer's opinion, but I have Boston Pro 60's in the front and they are $600+ and a JL Audio amp. The S-Pods with the right setup make a world of difference.

This is the first time that I've tried to post pictures. I have shown the rear view of the S-Pods, front view, Alpine H/U, rear speaker volume control, iPod in storage compartment door with interface, and trunk.

Hope this works. If not, I'll try again.

Rear Speaker volume control knob (this is a must..no jacking w/fader on HU)

iPod with interface installed in storage compartment(perfect fit).

Trunk with Amp and Alpine MP3/CD changer

Mark2002 is in CA and ships real fast. I had my S-Pods in four days.
