pervitizm Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Holy thread resurrect Batman. The sound system is doing fine. The subs are fully broken in. I'm metering around 134ish around 21Hz. Next on the things to do list is upgrade the SQ a bit. What better way to do that than throw some money at the problem. I'm going to take a different approach than what everyone is used to around here. Since my fiber glassing skills are non-existent that puts those high end Focals back on the shelf. I'm going to use electronic processing to make my Powerbass and MTX mids and highs sound like angels singing. What better processor to use than one of these: A little packaging action. To add to the custom feel I had JBL color match all of there production MS8 processors to match General Motor's metallic silver color used on 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra's. Not really. That's how they come. Lucky me. Power and input shot. This unit accepts both high and low level inputs. Outputs. This unit also has a built in amp that'll shoot out 18 watts at 4 ohm and 30 watts at 2 ohms. Nice. These headphones are actually the microphone. During the setup you sit in the listening position wearing these while the processor plays tones to evaluate the acoustical environment and make necessary adjustment. Adjustments are made via this little screen and remote. Stay tuned for the install. I've spent the last few hours tonight looking up any and every bit of information on this JBL MS-8 DSP system. All I can say is that after reading about it and what it can do I want one. I want one bad. So please let us know what you think about this unit after you install it. 2007 Chevy Suburban LT1 Pioneer AVH 5700 DVD Diamond Audio D3 6 1/2 components Kicker 06ZX650.4 amp Kicker 06ZX2500.1 (x 2) DC Sound Lab Level 4 18's with Level 5 coils Autotek Mean Machine 400.1D (replaced) Soon to come: rims body kit flow master pipes Confuscious say "he who say it can't be done shouldn't be bothering man busy doing it" Now feel free to go crawl back under that rock and leave this to the professionals....

onebadmonte Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Finally got a little bit of free time Saturday afternoon. I did a mad thrash to get this in for a little get together with some pals. Here is a mock up shot. I'm taking out the amps powering the inside speakers and using the amp built in the MS8 to power them instead. It wouldn't be a mad thrash with out a little south Texas rain in the mix. I had to move the whole operation into the garage. With the amps out and the MS8 in place it was just a matter of wiring things up. Here is the finished product. The setup is pretty straight forward. First is the sub. It'll ask how many outputs you're going to use. Then you'll set a subsonic filter frequency, then a subsonic filter slope. After that you'll set the low pass crossover frequency and slope. Then you'll setup the front, center if applicable and rear speakers in similar fashion. From there you'll assign which output will run what speaker. After that you'll calibrate the system with the groovy headphone/microphones. A quick tone will play from each speaker. You'll do this for all the seating positions you'll want to setup. I did the driver and passenger. The sound? Pretty impressive. I finally got a decent center stage. Mind you I'm running 3-1/2" co-ax in the stock/dash location. My problem has been the the gauge cluster blocks the driver's side speaker, focusing the sound directly to my left ear. Another issue the MS8 solved is my rear fill. Before the rear speakers overpowered the front stage. Now the rear speakers come in softly. All in all, I'm pretty happy with what the MS8 has been able to do with my setup. I can't wait to step up to a proper front stage. (wink, wink) Guess what's next. Viva la old school. Peace.

onebadmonte Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 In the spirit of Halloween I am resurrecting this thread from the dead. Muahahahah!!!! The MS8 has been incredible. Best purchase period. It's time to step it up a notch. Time to add some mid-bass to the system. My poor 18s are crossed at 250Hz because my little Powerbass 3-1/2 co-ax just can't dig any deeper. I have gone with el-cheapo, Peerless made, Miller & Kreisel 8 incher from the Parts Express Buy Out bin. A little woofer porn The junk in the trunk shot Since I can't leave well enough alone I am going to flex my muscles and yank off the bucking magnet to reduce the mounting depth by a whopping 1/4". This is how I did it. The tools The setup Make sure the get the fingers under the bucking magnet It takes a couple of hands to pull it off, especially when try to take pics at the same time. The little helper is my seven year old daughter. All it takes is getting the puller snug by hand then one turn with the wrench and the magnet pops right off. Bye, bye, bucking magnet. Looking fit and trim now. Here is a little profile action for you all. Look at me. I'm going to paint my woofer. Meh. :/ Stay tuned for more pics by your truly.
