Picked up my new S2 at the beginning of the month, it's great but the ICE is terrible.
I've replaced the rubbish Eurotech speakers with JL Audios; I would recommend this to everyone.
I'm now trying to replace the Clarion Head unit with an Alpine unit however it needs a seperate power supply. According to Robert Collingridge's excellent site (www.elises.co.uk) there's a remote positive terminal under the dash (for ICE & Sat Nav equipment) however I'm not entirelly sure where; Does anyone know where the remote positive terminal is or has anyone done a similar change without using it?

I've got the Sports Tourer (4 speaker setup). I know the earlier S2 came with the Alpine speakers that seemed fairly good (when I took a test drive last year) however the current cars come with poor Eurotechs (front speakers better than the rear ones).
When I picked up my S2 I put some Faithless on & I couldn't listen to any of it without the speakers distorting badly.
After replacing the speakers the clarity of sound is vastly superior with a good range of bass to treble. I can hear the music all the time except when driving really hard; when you get to listen to the roar of the engine instead :-)

That makes sense as even with the 2 speaker set up they are OK ... and yep, they are the Alpine units.
Has anyone with a RaceTech tried fitting additional speakers in the front? I understand that the wiring loom is in place, but when I asked Lotus were talking silly money for the grills (which I think look a bit like a 1970 Capri fittings anyway).
