Boston Acoustics are an American Audio Manufacturer. They make some very nice kit too. Has someone got the model numbers for the components which fit for this chap. Also whether he will require spacer rings for them?

I've got the Boston Acoustics Rally Components 620 (RC 620) which I bought off MikeyK - they should fit without any problems or the need to manufacture spacers. I don't think there would be any major differences between installing them in the 2004 and previous models. The RC-620 is now a discontinued model (still very good and sourseable though).

I've got a 9850Ri and Infinity components. When I fitted all of this in I couldn't believe the improvement.

The iPod sounds great and that's all I really use, but the user interface could do with some improvement. I have a 60Gb iPod and it is about 2/3 full. Trying to search for music can take a while as it doesn't speed up scrolling as you go through like the iPod does.

Another word of advice... don't buy the Alpine steering remot thing, I have, and it doesn't work very well, mainly just the mute button, but it is annoying. I have heard that the Modifry one is better.

Buy the modifry one, it has twice as many functions.
I had the KCE on two of me previous S's and the Modfiry on the last two.
Far better, but more money
