Duper thats awesome. I never even thought of doing that. By reading the manual it seems like the processor would implode if you sent more inputs to it. Ill give it a shot how you suggested. So even though it eats up processing power the end result is the same?

Even without a subwoofer it sounds crystal clear and very detailed. I was also able to retain my bluetooth, onstar, and backup sensors while completely removing the boston acoustic amplifier.
Glad to hear your happy with the results Tbone. I also installed mine over the weekend but am still trying to get it dialed in. I have an amp running my fronts with passive crossovers, the ms8 running the rears, and a separate monoblock for my sub. Im having trouble getting everything level matched. The ms8 powered speakers are always louder than my amped speakers. Even after turning up gains on amp till the point I get a hiss (gains too high). I will get it, just need some time. Hopefully Saturday.

Also once you add a sub alot of people have a problem with losing alot of midbass from the fronts, also a problem Im experiencing.
