Just got an 02 S2000. Sounds are horrible when top down driving around. What do you guys recommend me to get and replace?

List the items and prices please. Thanks alot

 

How much do you have to spend? This will help people give better recommendations. Do you want to keep the factory headunit or are you going to change it out?

 

4 major questions....

1) How much money you got?

2)Do you want to keep your dash controls?

3)Do you want trunk space?

4)Are you looking for a full upgrade, or basic speakers in the doors?

 

*nods*

also -- some ideas on the type of music you listen to and what appeals to you in sound (loud, sound quality, bass, treble, etc.) will help us get specific...

 

I'm looking to spend about 600-700
yes i want the dash control
trunk space doesnt matter to me
lookin for better sounds as in new speakers on doors(behind seat if possible), sub

 

For $600 I'd get an amp and upgrade the front speakers. You can get some really nice ones for that much.

Or- you can go with a midgrade setup from the internet, install it yourself, and end up with a good 4 channel amp($250), front speakers($100), a subwoofer($100), a box($50), and wiring($100).

ok...

next questions...

do you like your music to come from in front of you like a true stage, or do you prefer it to surround/envelop you?

is clarity a big concern or do you just want it louder?

 

i'd like for it to surround me, and clarity isnt a big concern

 

Clarity isnt a big concern?!

Well, in that case.....go to www.thezeb.com

pick up 2 pairs of speakers you like for 70-100 bucks a pair.....

for instance or Infinity reference
get SPODS or Lucid panels...(spods pref)



Get the Hifonics Eagle from them....50x4 @4ohms...$149 bucks...and youre done.

 

then my suggestion would be (for $500-$600)

-buy some Infinity reference 6.5" components ~$150
-get a decent 4 channel amp of the 75 Wrms x 4 @ 4 ohms flavor (that can bridge to 200-300 Wrms x 2 @ 4 ohms) ~$200
-use the OEM HU and add rear speaker outputs ~$30 and the amp's line level converters (you'll have to either make or buy a rear channel adapter)
-get a 10" normal sub in a generic box (not pretty but cheap) ~$200.
-get some basic amp wiring... ~$15
-get Dave to walk you through your own install.


this will make a big difference in what you hear, should give you tons of volume, and a nice bass response too.
