Hey All, New user here and need some desperate help setting up my new JBL MS-8. I have a 2009 BMW 328 XI Coupe with the standard HIFI system. Yesterday i installed the MS-8 using Technic's plug and play amp, which was actually incredibly simple, given i am a complete noob and know nothing about audio, specifically car audio.
Anyhow, if someone could please please help me setup my MS-8 on my HIFI system, that would be wonderful!!
Technic told me this:
Your HiFi OEM system is configured as follows:
Front = L/R mid/tweeters = 2-channels
Woofers = L/R woofers = 2-channels
Rear = L/R mid/tweeters = 2-channels
The OEM mid/tweeters are connected in parallel, with a cap as a high pass filter, driven by a single channel. Therefore, the 4 mid/tweeters sets in your OEM HiFi system use 4-channels.
Total of 6 OEM amp output channels.
Also - the harness was wired as follows:
The harness itself is wired to the MS-8 high level outputs with these assignments:
- CH1 = Left front mid/tweeter
- CH2 = Right front mid/tweeter
- CH3 = Left woofer
- CH4 = Right woofer
- CH5 = Left rear mid/tweeter
- CH6 = Right rear mid/tweeter
- CH7 = Center (not used for now)
- CH8 = Not used
So, now this is where i need help, in running the setup on my MS-8. So once the amp powers-up, then i do the following: (please be sure to correct me or provide more detailed setup)
- skip input setup (I skipped input setup)
- Sub = None (I put none for the Sub)
- Front = 2-way, 40Hz subsonic filter at 18dB, 120Hz at 12dB Hi/Lo (I set this for the front)
- Center = None
- Sides = Should this be none??
- Rear = 1-way, 120Hz at 18dB
So that is the first step of setting up the MS-8. Is the above correct for my car or does anyone know the best setup options??
Ok next step, setup shows me the Channel Selection Menu. This is also where i ran into problems, inputting the correct for each channel: This is whta i was doing:
Channel 1 - FL Hi (For mid/tweeter?)
Channel 2 - FR Hi (For mid/tweeter?)
Channel 3 - FL Low (For woofer?)
Channel 4 - FR Low (For woofer?)
Channel 5 - RL (Rear left??)
Channel 6 - RR (rear right??)
Channel 7 - not used
Channel 8 - not used.
This is as far as i made it, so im not even sure what the next steps are. Any suggestions or help to set this up is very very greatly appreciated!!
