Honda S2000 SQ Build S2K

[captainobvious]

This build is for my dad's 2003 Honda S2000. There fun little cars, but are a little tight on space. Here's the equipment list for this build:

Pioneer DEH-80PRS source
HAT L6 woofers
HAT L1 tweeters
Massive NX5 amplifier
Stinger HPM3 signal wiring


This will be a 2-way active plus sub setup, utilizing the stock locations and a fiberglassed sub enclosure in the trunk.



And let the fun begin...


I started off yesterday with the wiring:
All wiring was techflexed as usual in my builds. Aluminum tape was used to secure the wiring to the chassis every 6 inches or so.


Remote wire and main power wire (4awg welding cable)



Tie wrapped neatly behind the stock panel is the remote wire and a dedicated power/ground which is run to the engine bay.




In the engine compartment behind the battery is the stock grommet. I used this location for the 4awg main power wire and the separate run for connection of the source unit.


The system will be fused using a Stinger marine circuit breaker. I made a mount to utilize a stock threaded mounting bolt. The mounting plate has several coats of rubberized undercoating to seal and protect it.




The location:

Yeah sorry! Apparently my build logs have been receiving a ton of views

Subscribed because this is sort of similar to what I will do. Particularly interested in crossover settings.

The nice thing about that little package compartment in the trunk well is that it sits centered and low so it shouldn't affect handling much. With the fiberglass/wood enclosure I made, it's actually very light, yet extremely strong as well.



More pics:

I had to trim of the excess and fill the gaps. I used Bondoglass followed by Rage gold and smoothed everything out nicely.

And beginning the door treatments. Looks like the speaker size is closer to 5.25 and these HAT L6's are 7.1" diameter so There's going to need to be some modification to make them fit.

Subbed, always love to see how people can squeeze wicked install into such a small cars. Especially since I'l gonna have to learn and "master" that art very soon.

Painting the ring is a nice touch, I always do it.

Love those cars.
