You need the jl summing device.

so I have a BMW 550i 2008 with the logic 7. I was going to go with the BSW is that not a good product? Also forgive the ignorance but where are the subs located and what size are they?

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.

I would only install the center channel if you going to get the ms8. the logic7 processing on the ms8 does wonders with the channel.

regarding the 4" speakers stick to Rainbow or Morel.

If youre serious abut youre sound ditch the lc6i and get the ms8 or audison bitone. The lc6i or cleansweep dont have any dsp. No eq, time alignment, active rossovers, etc...

I also recommend spending some time in e90post.com car audio section, you'll find all the info you need there.

Nelson,

How much for that Micro Precision speaker? (I will PM you)

I would get the MS-8, amazon has a great price on it and full warranty.

How easy or complicated was your MS-8 calibration?

Do you know where I can buy speaker adapters for our car speakers?
