I just bought an S2000 and was unaware they only have two speakers wondering if there is any way to upgade the sound without replacing the Factory head unit?

 

What year? If it's 05+ you're in luck.

Otherwise, pick up a pair of component speakers and prepare to cut into your interior.

 

first thing i did was replaced my door speakers with JL audios.. jsut teh mids no tweeter.. and MAN was it a DAY AND NIGHT diff.. i changed out my HEadunit as well since teh OEM would not cut it for me...
and now have a 12" Sub SUBBIN in the trunk.. couldnt be happier!

 

dealer told me if u swap the headunit u lose your keyless entry? im drivin a 2005...i wouldlike to upgrade the door speakers tho.

how so??? i still use it...unless theres something new with the AP2's i dont know about

 

Not true. My stereos OUT and the keyless works.

 

i have an 05 and i've upgraded my headunit...tell me more as to why i'm in luck for speaker options

 

05+ comes with leads for the two rear speakers. All you have to do now is find a place to mount it. Use 5.25" speakers with foam/plastic baffles, and mount them behind the seatback, on the plastic of the roll hoops. If S2ki search doesn't suck so much, I would find the thread for you, since you asked nicely. Try looking in their Electronics Forum. As for the fronts, 6" midranges fit perfectly.

 

get the headrest speaker kit.
it's available for 04+ but the dealer can install on ap1 also
be prepare to spend 800ish tho

waste of money if you ask me, the speaker is probably the same low wattage paper special

the cheap way would be getting a better Hu, ungrade the front and get rear panel speaker mod(free)

 

my dealer said the keyless wont work because honda wired it throught the head unit, so without the honda head unit, theres no keyless. figured id listen to honda, my mistake. im sure by now theres kits that include how to rewire the keyless if this was happening.

 

this is bs...on ap1's and ap2's<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by mykcuz &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">my dealer said the keyless wont work because honda wired it throught the head unit, so without the honda head unit, theres no keyless. figured id listen to honda, my mistake. im sure by now theres kits that include how to rewire the keyless if this was happening.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

Yea. Complete BS. Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear.

yep, mine was out and i was driving to get some wires, i mean the whole cd player, and all the mounting piece were out and i have the oem keyless working just fine.

I see how they would say this, notice there's a little useless red led in your armrest, the booger gets the signal from the cd player(big **** two wires plugs), i disconnected it and nothing happens)

needless to say i put it back after i re wire all the oem wires with monster cable.


&lt;--stock HU, rewired with Monster wires, Sony Amp, POLKS front and Sony Rear panel speakers plus OEM changer

stock speakers here with a 800 watt kenwood amp in the back and 1 10" kicker comp sub in a nice small box that fitsalmost flush in the trunk..

 

On the earlier model S2000 there are only 2 speakers one for each door. You can either tap into those speakers or wire in to the radio connector. Honda has put additional pins in the back of the radio for 2 more speakers. It's a difficult job but it is the right way. Pull out the radio and pin-in your wires in the connector. That is what I did with mine.

 

You're dealer told you wrong. Honda only did that in the 96-98 civics. There is a seperate keyless entry control unit under the dash. If you replace the radio, you're audio controls on the left side of the dash won't work.

 

Your keyless does not interfere with the stock radio. It will still work. If you change out the headunit you can still retain the factory left controls if you use a blackbox-type interface that works with the aftermarket unit. Check out http://www.modifry.com.

 

radio hooked into the keyless entry?!?!?

Am I in Spain or something cause a bucha bulls just ran by me...
