Damn you people. Now I have the bug. I want to buy a cheap amp for now to add to my MS-8. I'll spend more money later.

Set up is Base Stereo, MS-8, Jehnert Flatline Speakers, All speakers connected to MS-8. 2011 335d.

CH1: FL through Jehnert Crossover
CH2: FR
CH3: RL
CH4: RR
CH5: Center Speaker DLS R424 Coax
CH6: L 8" underseat
CH7: R 8"

So I saw these two little amps in my price point:

Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 Punch BRT 300 Watt Ultra Compact 4 Channel Amplifier

Or Pioneer GM-D9500F Class-FD 4-Channel Bridgeable Amplifier

I wanted to keep it around $150 but I can stretch a little. The wife is getting angry all ready. If you have another recommendation around this price point (I mean +- $15) I'd love to hear it.

this is off topic but i think you should have your under seats on ms-8 channels 3 & 4 and your rears on 6 & 7. i read somewhere that this is how it should be hooked up.

regarding your amp, im not too sure. hopefully someone else can help.

I was going to do that and I ended up going with a JL xd600/6 right away. Id recommend you get an amp that you plan on keeping, otherwise you'll end up upgrading not long from now anyways.

MS-8 outputs can be configured in whatever speaker assignment that you would like. There is no "correct" way.

Look at refurbished Kenwood XR-4S or vibe litebox 4 if you're on a budget.

Will do. Definitely have to stay south of $175 for now so please respect that when you offer an opinion. Like I said I'll upgrade later, that's not an issue. The issue is paying much more than $150 NOW.

thats where i read it from. maybe im mistaken and he didnt mean you have to do it that way. he might have only been suggesting the output channels.

That was a suggestion.
