How do you deal with the underwhelming sound of an S2000?

Firstly, congratulations in posting a thread / comment where you have no made reference to your DC2 integra. 
Below I have broken down your comments into rather useless replies which you will find to be off little help:
Noisy F20C = Turn music up (see below beforehand)
Bad speakers = Upgrade
Hardtop = waste of time and money, been there done that.
Sound deadening = Added weight for petty reasons
Perhaps you are not hardcore enough to own this car may I suggest a DC2 Integra, I hear they are rather good.

may I suggest a DC2 Integra, I hear they are rather good. If your speakers are flapping away on metal doorskins with nothing behind them, simply turning up the volume will only increase distortion and will do nothing to stop the road noise from coming into the cabin.
You can't stop wind noise but you can make the car an awful lot less noisy in other areas. If you remove unwanted noise, it's less noise for speakers to drown out and if you fit better speakers and amplifiers, you have more musical noise on top of that.
The S2000 is NOT a well built in car in this regard, just like any other late 90s Honda.

It would be far more Honda to fit a noise-cancelling feedback loop, as in the Leg End; saves adding additional mass.
Mind you, it's useless against the horrendous road noise caused by Ringworm sticking (vaguely) crumble topping on all of the Cunty Cuntcil's roads. Only driving over the ton seems to get the frequency into a bearable range.

To get round hearing the engine, I upgraded the exhaust and just said to the chap building it, to make it as loud as he wanted. Registered at 112.6 db.
Engine noise isn't really a problem

if only I could get the exhaust note to sound like a that of the 997 gt3, by Christ it sounds gorgeous, I know the flat 6 will always give more 'brrrmm' than an inline 4 but has anyone on here got close?
