Weak Stereo
What have you done about the weak stereo? I know you can just get a new HU but then the controls on the left won't work. Would adding an amp to the stock setup help? If so how many amps?

I added 5.25" speakers to the rear panels, didn't cut my stock harness at all.
go to: http://www.keedyweb.net/honda-s2000/...-speakers.html to see how I did it.
I'll preface by saying I've gotten over the time in my life when I wanted/needed huge booming stereos (had 1-2-3 too many stolen from me) but this adds a LOT of sound to the cabin, especially with the top down. Dash controls and fader controls are still fully functioning. Just in case you aren't aware your stock radio actually does have 4 channels just 2 of them are used in stock form.

Dash Control Interface
For the harness that allows the left hand dash controls to operate aftermarket units goto http://marketplace.s2ki.com/ and look for modifry's DCI (Dash Control Interface)
