What would you say the upper limit on the underseats is before they become 'boomy'? Thanks. |

Hey Technic, Was the XD400/4 used just for the sub ?? Or was it used for the sub + front stage?
Im only asking because this looks like almost the exact same setup im going for.. But once I saw the 4 channel amp I was confused. Would it be much harder to run my front stage + sub off say a 5 channel amp or so and then have the MS8 just power the rear speakers? ( full newb ) or does that start a whole new level of complication that I can worry about down the road. Would be nice if later down the road its easy to say replace the 2 channel sub amp with a 5 channel amp for front stage + sub.

Thanks, Like I said im not super new to audio.. But new to ways to go about things in the E90s Thanks!!!
Im assuming its easy to start off with MS8 power for everything + a trunk sub amp, and then possibly move to amped front stage later + the sub etc. Cant wait to get this system started Thanks again!

You should look for the cable that connects to the bottom of the iphone. That is a line out signal without any eq or variable volume from the iphone. Then use a male-to-male 3.5 mm connector and a 3.5 mm to RCA cable (both from Ratshack). Then an automotice RCA cable to the MS-8.

thanks.
i did see this in my search but i couldnt see a picture of a dock. now its clear that it connects to the bottom of the iphone and splits into usb power and an aux cable. So i guess i still need a cable or two. an aux-rca adaptor and an automotive rca cable to route back to the ms-8. or maybe both in one cable. is this right? |

Sweet cheap iPod power / audio... Ugh more stuff to buy
So off the MS8 direct will offer better sound then off the audio jack in the center console? Currently I have a 3.5mm to dock connector which sounds good but no charging.
