Mark.... I'm a Sacramento area local and have begun to play with stereo upgrades. I have a MY2000 with 01 HU. I added the Lucid Kenwood Excelon X178 in the doors and enjoy the improvement, but it still isn't "there". I'm a stock appearance guy and am interested in your S-Pods. I'm not sure they will add what I'm looking for...bottom end.....but thought I'd ask. We roadtrip quite a bit and trunk space is a premium, so a sub is probably out.. I'm thinking to amp the doors as the next level of attack, but then I saw this thread and thought maybe the S-Pods might help...what do you think ??

My personal opinion is that they help the bottom end, with no other upgrades. I was pleasantly surprised by just how much bass was added by 5 1/4 speakers. The fact that they are enclosed inside the rollbars, and that I use Dynamat to line the enclosure seems to be the reason. A mini bass box.

Stereo upgrades are very subjective. These are a giant step up from stock, but can't compare to what you get from an amp & sub in the trunk.

I'd be happy to let you sample mine sometime if you like. Just let me know.

Thanks,

Sounds good, just let me know a day in advance so I can drive the S. I work weekends, but It's cool if you meet me there. It's closer to your side of town anyway.

Definitely, if I drive the S near your store before then...I'll stop by for a demo.

Special pricing is ending soon!

I'm currently finishing up several sets of S-Pods in preparation for Sac2k days. The price will be $240 at the show, and $240+tax+shipping after the show. I think this is very reasonable considering that Rick's Accessories sells headrests for this price, and they use half as much leather, none of the other materials involved, & about 1/10th the labor.

What do you guys/gals think?
