what size speakers are in the front doors of the s2000? and also what do most people tend to choose as an affordable effective upgrade?
Do many people put speakers behind the seats?

6.25 in the front

Yes lots put them in the back behind seats, makes a good difference IMHO. Lucid does rear speaker solutions, or just panels, or you can cut your own

Or there is the S-pod route in the headrests.

It is either 6" or 6.5". I went for JBL P62s

Some do using "Lucid" rear speaker panels.

I've yet to do the fronts (I'm told 6.5" JBL P62's are the bunnies).

I have had 2 x Pioneer's put behind the seats with excellent results.

You can get the proper panels from overseas but a good local audio place can fit them really cheaply.

I went for JCL P62's but one went faulty so changed to DLS Components

6.5 sorry not 6.25 - was getting confused with 62's!

I went for these too, 50 quid a pair and they are very good. I also left the tweeters wired up so I have four tweeters at the front as opposed to two that are with the jbl speakers.

Not sure but if you fit jbl's at the front and a sub box in the boot its well loud enough... and a decent stereo of course !!

Save a packet and cut holes !..Get the flattest speakers you can find as if they are too big they will restrict the movement of the seat.

You do not NEED the expensive panels.
