I usually only listen to MP3 CDs in my Pioneer head unit in my s2000, but the other day when I tried to listen to a regular, store-bought CD, it would skip if there was the slightest jolt that lasted more than a few seconds, like crossing a lane that has those warning bumps that divide the lanes. I assume the reason that I can play MP3 CDs and not standard music CDs is that the buffer is much larger while playing MP3s since their file size is that much smaller, but I used to listen to music CDs when this head unit was in my G3 Acura Integra, which rode pretty rough on a 2.5″ drop and tires with a lower profile than the s.

So is the ride really that rough in the s2000 that the standard audio buffer on a Pioneer HU isn’t enough to handle it? I’ve become completely accustomed to the ride, although my wife’s Accord is noticeably more comfortable and plush.
