INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE MAIN UNIT
Using the main unit as a template, mark the locations of the mounting holes on the mounting
surface; drill pilot holes; and attach the unit to the mounting surface with the supplied screws.
• Mount the unit securely.
• Mount the unit so that it remains dry.
• Mount the unit so that neither it nor any of its connections are damaged by the feet of
backseat passengers or by cargo shifting in the trunk.
NOTE: You may nd it easier to attach the MS-8’s main unit to the mounting surface after you’ve
made all connections to it (but before you reconnect the vehicle’s battery ground cable).
CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE DISPLAY UNIT
IMPORTANT: Install the MS-8’s display unit according to these instructions and any
relevant regulations. No part of this system should obstruct the driver’s view of the

sure to consult local laws before mounting the display unit.
You can mount the display unit in any of a variety of locations, as long as the location offers
a direct view of the display unit’s screen. For easiest viewing, mount the unit near other
instrument-panel gauges or on top of the dashboard.
NOTE: The display unit is required to set up and calibrate the MS-8. However, once
you have set up the MS-8, you can remove the display unit from the vehicle. (All of
the MS-8’s equalization and digital signal processing functions will operate without
your intervention.) If you do disconnect the display unit after setup, though, you will
not be able to make any MS-8 adjustments, and the MS-8’s remote control will not
function.
If you plan on removing the display unit once your system’s setup and calibration is
complete, you do not have to choose a permanent mounting location.
