well i started the sq build on my new bmw 323i, first off i started by gutting the interior to see what this car looks like bare... so it seems i can put 8s in the floor cool... i placed a pair of earthquake sws8 in the floor and ran 12awg to the trunk off them.. then the doors... not the greatest stock spots but in the factory 4 inch location i dropped a dayton audio rs52. with a lot of mods it went in.. now no tweet location.. so the sail pillar on the door was removed and today i will mold in a tang band ceramic tweeter. the car comes with a centre channel vent but no speaker so i will take a diamond audio 4 inch and mold it in there then order from bmw the stock centre channel panel. i wired it up last night so its all ready to go. then i took the door speaker wires from the deck and ran them to the back as well as new wire from the door mid and tweeters, damn that wasent fun running wires into each door. lastly today i will put in the ms-8 in the trunk and a mtx amp for the 12 inch sub which is going in the left side corner of the car.. everything will be stock in the vehicle.. hope to hell this ms-8 can do what it says....

wont it be weird having freq up to 600hz under your seat? Doesnt sound become directional at far lower then that?
The Dayton is a 2" speaker? So no midbass is in the door then?
(see why I wanted pics) it sounds interesting and I know that you know what your doing so Im trying to learn

There have been a few examples over the years where people have successfully mounted midbass, and even mids, in the floor firing straight up. If you get the crossovers and levels right, the mids in the doors/KPs/dash can mask the location of the midbass.
