Man I did a buddy's Mini and the improvement was great. I'm desperate to start mine but I'm doing another guys 68 Firebird vert right now. Will finish in early March and then will start the Mini. Just acquiring all the parts now
so your signal is going from digital (cd) to analog (rca outs) to digital (ms8 a/d input), to analog (ms8 out) to digital (minidsp input) then back to analog before you hit the amps?

yikes
I think you have a few too many "analog/digital" in your comment...is that to increase the YIKES factor?
Maybe you should have started at the recording studio....

i was just going off of your pic that shows the setup.
and it shows d-a, a-d-a, a-d-a (the two a-d-a being ms8 and minidsp).
i'm not hating; that's just a lot of unnecessary conversions going on there; each time you lose resolution. imo i'd go with a analog active xover between the ms8 and the amps (unless you plan on using some ta or crazy slopes in the minidsp).
i'm not a fan of the ms8 as its only analog in; from experience the longer you keep the signal digital the better and the fewer d-a a-d conversions you have in the chain the better imo.
I scored a 1 ft.sq. slab of 3/4" solid pvc for free. So I decided to use this to make some pillar baffles for my new drivers.
Here are a couple of test fitting pics, before I make look better.
I will be recycling my existing pillar pods, since their internal volume is perfect for the peerless HDS 4 driver.
I already stripped the previous wooden baffle, from the f-glass and tested the bonding strength between pvc and f-glass, using a poly-urethane glue.
A quick question, and by no means am I bashing anything you are doing. I was looking at the diagram and wondering why run the ms8 at all instead of just getting another mini dsp? I thought the dsps did everything the ms8 could do?

I already have the MS-8 and I just want to see if I can make it better or not.
A few weeks ago, I scored a $50 H-D gift card, at work. So I decided to use it to finance my home stereo speaker build. I was able to get a sheet of 3/4 mdf , a box of screws and have them cut all the panels to the sizes that were needed.
The woofer is a Peerless xls/hds8. I scored 4 of them, bnib, when they were being sold on the forum for roughly $75/pair.
Enclosure volume is 1.28 cu.ft, tuned @ 29hz.
Here is my first box, in the rough.
It still needs to be finished and the port tube is missing.
Here is a semi finished pic of my home speaker project.
I still need to figure out a grill that will give the design some character and raise the funds for some Solen designed X-overs.
Be careful not to break all that nice chinaware with heavy bass track
