Sorry, but I did not understand this post

Some people have found the auto tune frustrating.
its not as straight forward as you think.
you get what it gives you and some have found that not
to be what they want.
Its more work than you think if you read some of the stuff
in the ms-8 system threads.

Thanks

Yes. Jl audio makes an rca end that you can splice onto existing wire. If you can get a hold of the connector for your amp you could make a proper harness and not have to cut.

If you feed it from the head unit it's not an issue. If you feed it from the amp you will have to include the sub so that the ms-8 is getting both highs and lows as an input source

One last question, now my head unit has only 4 outputs, FR, FL, RR and RL, if I run those to the MS8, is it going to give me all the channels I want including the sub channel? but the problem is, that I am not sure if those signals are full range..

Thanks a lot for answering my questions.

You will only need fl and fr. They will be full range

I just had a reply from a Nissan technician, he confirmed that the 4 signals coming from the head unit are full range, so the best way to go for is connecting those signals to the MS8, but you mentioned to connect only the front signals, isn't it better connect the 4 signals to have the best sound going to the MS8?

Thanks

The processor only requires one full range stereo input. I believe connecting two full range inputs has no advantage, because during input setup the processor stops "looking" once it has found a full range signal on inputs 1 and 2.

However, if you have park distance control outputs through the head unit rear channels, I think the head unit front and rear outputs need to be summed. I'm not 100% sure on this as I never had to do it.

Yeah, my car has pdc sounds in the rear channels and nav/Bluetooth on the front channels so I had to connect all 4 channels to the MS-8. The MS-8 then sums the signals internally. It does mean the incoming signal is higher bet that's not really relevant.

In fact I have had much poorer results by summing F+R as opposed to using only front.

stock head unit?

Mine are summed, ive tried it both ways and there was no difference besides the summed volume level being higher, but Ive got a Dynavin head unit, not stock.

Yes stock. Rear is high passed so i think it throws off the overall levels.

oh yeah, that would screw things up for sure, The MS-8 might be able to compensate but still any time you touched the fader it would throw everything off. In my setup both front and rear are full range to it doesnt really make any difference if I use 2 or 4 channels (besides PDC and nav working)

Yeah, even with a flat fader, it still wasn't quite a full signal. The MS-8 (as Mathematics well knows) works best when it doesn't have to work as hard.
