Default 400lbs Max on s2000?

i'm planning on getting a system on my s2000 but something is really bothering me , the manual on the s2000 says it can only hold a max of 400lbs so if passangers weight over 100 something will happen? i weigh 160 and i'm going to assume after my system i'll add about 200lbs to the car permantly so i'm 160 and the system will weigh 200 thats 360 lbs leaving only 40 lbs for a passanger? what can i do?? i really want my system but that weight of 400 lbs max is something to think about i've thought about getting rid of that 45lb exhaust and get a HKS exhaust that weighs around 8lbs but i'm going to get a hardtop that weighs around 40lbs so no point in that i'll just return the weight does anyone have any help for me? and no i wont get rid of precious body panels like seats and stuff and i need to carry passangers most weigh from a range of 200 to 95... any suggestions will help

What sound system could possibly weigh 200lbs that you can fit in the s2000? A sub roughly weighs 20-40lbs, the box, probably another 30-50lbs, the amp and cables 25lbs at most. Are you sure it's 200lbs?

Probably nothing. 400lbs max to the manual, probably means 6-700lbs max in real life.
