I'm about to give up on JBL. Their customer service sux ballz. I've e-mailed them twice and caledl them multiple times and nothing. The best support I've got from them is one employee who hangs out on diymobileaudio.com. He's been the best help but still hasn't been able to figure out my problem. I'm about to use the MS8 as a wheel chock...:letitout:

ust a little update. I got the MS8 tuned pretty good (at least to my ears. BMW e30's have a reputation of having a horrible front soundstage because of the placement of the front speakers in the kick panels. You can really hear the difference when you turn processing on and off from the MS8. The MS8 does it's job and really brings the stage up on the dash, I love it.
But there may be some changes coming to my system soon, if I can ever win that ebay bid... lol.

Got some updates.
I wasn't happy with the amount of rear-fill I was getting off the internal MS8 amp. So I went shopping on ebay for a JL 300/2. This will power the fronts and the 100w section of the JL 500/5 will go to the rears.
Here's a shot from yesterday when I threw the amp in.
I still have to wire it up and figure out where I'm gonna move the MS8. I'll probably put it on the left side of the trunk where I was gonna put the Phatbox. The Phatbox will probably mount to the underside of the rear deck in the trunk.
Gotta clean up the battery install too...
I have no idea what I'm gonna do with this mess. I'm still brainstorming...

So I got the amps re-wired today...
Threw in the cap I've had sitting around while I was at it.
May not do much back there but what the hell... lol
I had all the speaker leads re-connected and then moved on to the MS8 mounting on the left side. But the sky decided to open up and now everything is flooded... Guess I'll try to work more tomorrow...

So I was able to get some work done today. Kinda hard to do here cuz it's been raining like crazy. I did most of the work under an umbrella.
Anyway, got the amp "pretty panel" cut out and mounted.
And I got the MS8 mounted to the left side of the trunk.
The Phatbox is in there temporarily. I have to think of some better way to mount it where it's at. I also have to figure out how to mount the jack better than a bungie chord. There might be some other goodies mounted to the underside of the rear shelf...;)
Here's a few more pics.
And I know, the cap probably aint doin' nuttin back there with the battery so close, but what the hell... lol
I'm also waiting for a friend of mine to make me a custom battery holder. The fuse holder is going to mount to it.
