this is a bit early, figuired i'd start up the log though since i just got my first pierce in. I only picked it up because i scrored it for such an incredible price. to which i am not aloud to disclose since it's the factory direct price

parts
-pioneer Avic Z120bt
-JBL ms-8
-JBL 660 GTI (or hertz HSK 165 3 way comp system )


what ive got -
amps
-alpine PDX 4.150
-ALpine PDX 1.1000

going to be adding another 4.150 or a 2.150 to go active.

sub -
- JBL W12GTI MKII

THE PLANS!
-custom sealed glass sub enclousrure in rear end of trunk in tire well
-custom false floor with cooling fans, and retaining spare tire access.

anyhow. THE UNBOXING! of the MS-8
the box once i brought it inside :P







just to give you an idea of size, i put a cd sleeve next to the control unit and the main unit it's self to show you.

more size comparason, you really can never tell how small this unit is, but it really is small.

Oh boy, this has the looks of being a very nice system when all said and done. Very nice choice on equipment too. I'm getting excited and it's not even mine. Any idea when you start the actual build?

weeks. installing the MS-8 tomrow though. running the jbl 608's as the fronts as is. if the ms-8 is all its cracked up to be i might not even make the switch to the 660's or the HSK's.

hoping to start the sub box build first for fabing, got a buddy with a garagae to do the drying but it could be weeks before i have the money im going to school full time and riding unemployment. money aint easy to come by.

but i will give a full reveiw on the ms-8, i'll probobly take out my rear stage and run it active, runn the tweets lower than the stock cross over, and see how they sing, i hear they sound fuller a bit lower.

this thing is amazing, the dsp is incredible. the setup is a breeze took me like an hour total to install it, granted its a bit of a sloppy job for now till i get to work on the false floor. but heres a picture of the ms-8 installed did run into an issue though with one of the sets of rca's turned out to be defective kinda made tuning a bitch since one of the channels was half out, got it patched in with another set for now though.
