DJ Qube,

The wheels look good. Your car looks lower than stock for some reason.

You wouln't have a close up picuture of the front wheel do you? I want to check out just how much profile the 225/40/18 T1-S has on the 18x7.5 wheel. Thanks!

Very, very nice, DJ. One question, I noticed you mounted the tweeters next to the stock speaker location. Do they sound good there? Did you think about mouting them at the top of the door panel, or on the dash?

The closer to the driver the larger the discrepency in distance between the right and left tweeter. So you get lower sound quality since you hear sounds from the left before the right. That why kick panels are the most used in car stereo systems. I'm actually going to have them mount my tweeters on a bracket that connects to the stock basket and drill out more of the holes in the factory grill.

Qube,

Nice wheels man -- that's the first set of rims/tires I've seen on an S2000 that I actually like more than stock!

And yeah, baby schtookie needs to get thrown off baby mountain.... And besides, it won't be complete until you have a little baby baby schtookie sitting inside baby schtookie... and a baby baby baby schtookie sitting inside that..................

Nice mods! very tastefull. i just noticed that you have your amp power fuse is next to the amp. i always thought it was supposed to be as close to the battery as possible, and no more that 18" away. i may be wrong, just letting you know.

Yes, it is important to have it as close to the battery as possible. It will protect you from a potential fire. If you have a short, the fuse will blow close to the battery before the wire to you amp heats up, potentially causing a fire.

Just my 2 cents.
