I love talking about this thing:

1. One tip I read (and used) was go with 24db octaves for setup. The default is 12db I believe, but 24db worked great for me.
2. If you have a frequent passenger (in my case, my wife), get them to sit in the passenger seat and do the setup. I have mine set to "front" instead of "driver" now to give my wife a great experience as well. It sounds almost as good to me as having it set to "driver".
3. Read this review over at DIYMA. It might be a little long, but it helped me a lot.

I couldn't find anywhere to really mount the display, so I ran the display cable into the glove box. My display and remote remain loose inside my glove box (encased by my removable face cloth cover from my radio). I don't keep much in my glove box, so YMMV. Listen to the MS-8 with Logic 7 on and then with it off. Some people do not like the surround sound effect. I like it, but again, YMMV.
