Connecting the MS8 to factory Bose/Nav

edconline

Fair enough, still helped out big time!

Now for the next question. For those running processors like the MS8 and component speakers, are you using the processor as an active crossover for all your channels? As in bypassing the HPF/LPF's on the amp, and not using the passive crossovers that came with your component speakers?

It seems that this would give the MS8 the best control over what your system sounded like, and I should have enough channels on the HD900/5 to achieve this. (use the front channels for the mid's and rear channels for the tweeters) The only thing this limits is my ability to bridge the fronts so i might be shy on power.

Thoughts?

Absolutely run active off the processor. The bump in power if you were to run your fronts bridged would only be from 100watts to 150watts. You would barely even notice that small of a difference.
The processing capabilities you gain from running active will make you glad you did.
