Nope. I don't think I need to...(lazy)...

Do you have any problem with the Bluetooth after installing this system and the central speaker? http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/...-ms-8-a-5.html
There are complains that after doing this upgrade when calling someone on telephone and using the onboard BT connection, you hear a disturbing echo in the speakers.

Is this true?

To be honest, I haven't used the BT phone function much. Maybe twice and no complaints from me or the caller. That link mentions people running the MS-8 in L7 mode with NO center. I have center's on mine so maybe that's the key. I'll have to test it out again. Then again, as I mentioned I didn't get any complaints. Maybe I'll notice it if I look for it.

Got it. I understood that the problem is at the configuration with center speaker. That's also the configuration that i want to do in my E60.

So... i should not expect this kind of problem.

Hopefully. I'll test it out in more detail and will post on the results.

One more thing.
Have you noticed somehow... the PDC beeps sounds slower in the speakers since you installed the MS-8?
Or isn't any difference?

I don't have PDC, However, when I first set it up the seatbelt, door, and other audible warnings were pretty loud. It turns out that I had the MS-8 system volume turned up too high. With that high setting, I was also getting some buzz in the speakers when I turn the lights on even with the radio off. I just turned the system volume down and recalibrated and all is good. Here's the final settings I have

- skip input setup
- Sub = 2, subsonic at 24dB at 40Hz, low pass at 200Hz at 12dB
- front = 1-way
- center = 1-way, 200Hz at 24dB
- sides = 1-way, 200Hz at 24dB
- rear = none

Underseat woofers = subs
Front speakers = front 1-way
Rear speakers = sides 1-way
Center speaker = center 1-way

Calibration volume = -23 dB
System volume = -12dB

I did tweak the EQ afterwards to my liking.

Very useful.

You do have tweeters in front doors and rear deck, right?

balbs

Yes. The stock speakers (mid and tweeter combo). They are configured as 1 way.
