I have a JBL ms-8 also which I will be using for my system. I was going to be using 4" focal utopia speakers but decided to try something different, the focals will require you to use a mounting plate. Mount the speaker to the plate then mount the plate to the car. I know some people have had these plates custom machined, I'm cheap so I will just be making mine from mdf.
About these mounting plates, I have some Infinity Kappa's and I can only use 2 tabs, bend the other two, anybody that sells these mountung plates?

not sure if anyone sells them, you may have to get someone to make some for you.

My Ride: 2006 530i mystic blue
i got my highs ran thru the jl clean sweep. and the rcas (front back) from that go to my alpine 5 channel amp. my 5th chaneel runs my underseat speakers( which dont really add anything to the system sound wise)the wires for the underseat subs got ranfrom the tiny amp in the trunk. the front and rear 4 inchs wires came directly from the headunit. the subs get ran thru the clean sweep too. its an rcas maze really. i took it apart one day and couldnt figure out how to get it back together. right now shits just layin in the trunk. after my body kit imma get back to the stereo again and make it look nicer and ditch the front 4 inchs and get 6.5s for more midbass. the 4s are way to tin-e

I have 2 x 12" Kicker Subs inside my trunk pumping 1500RMS (750 x 2), plugged to a Kicker Mono Amp 2500 RMS @ 2ohms), and they make HUGE bass, but I still miss the higher freq bass inside the cabin that the underseat subs can give me, I am also missing the center channel, the 4 other mids inside my car can't reproduce the effect that the center channel makes.
