Now my setup is fully amped, I have JL HD 600/4 and JL HD 900/5 running all the speakers
MS8 CH1|---------> JL HD 600/4 CH1 (Front left) ---> Morel Hybrid Ovation 4" (with MT-23 tweets)
MS8 CH2|---------> JL HD 600/4 CH2 (Front right) ---> Morel Hybrid Ovation 4" (with MT-23 tweets)
MS8 CH3|---------> JL HD 900/5 CH3 (Rear left) ---> Xtant 4" coaxials
MS8 CH4|---------> JL HD 900/5 CH4 (Rear right) ---> Xtant 4" coaxials
MS8 CH5|---------> JL HD 900/5 CH1 (Center) ---> Morel Integra Ovation XO 4"
MS8 CH6|---------> JL HD 600/4 CH3 (Woofer left) ---> Jehnert underseats
MS8 CH7|---------> JL HD 600/4 CH4 (Woofer right) ---> Jehnert underseats
MS8 CH8|---------> JL HD 900/5 CH5 (Subwoofer) ---> JL 12W6v2
I found my center speakers to be a bit too loud despite having all the gains being set at minimum. I tried to calibrate sub keeping on the backseats (almost behind my ears) but then sub was very less intense.
JL HD 900/5 was running hot though.

I had some good results when I calibrated with the sub on the back seat. You're right, intensity is reduced but when you put it back in the trunk cabin gain will give it a bump. Try to reverse polarity of the sub after calibrating and putting it back in the trunk. You will probably have to calibrate with minimum gain, then increase it afterwards.
