I have the stock HiFi system and I will be installing the JBL MS8 along with the BSW Stage 1 speakers. I am sure the BSW speakers will be fine but would adding 2 underseat SWS8 woofers be too much for the JBL MS8 power wise?

You may have some decent bass if you use SWS-8Xi but you will not have the deep bass that the SWS-8Xi can really produce with 100W+ RMS.

You will have much better results by keeping the OEM woofers with the MS-8. You may be even impressed.

So if I change the speakers for the Bavsound kit will the setup be the same. I was told to use these settings for the HiFi speakers.
Suggested setup:

- skip input setup
- Sub = 2, subsonic at 50Hz at 18dB slope, low pass at 200Hz at 12dB slope
- Front = 1-way
- Center = 1-way, 160Hz at 18dB
- Sides = 1-way, 160Hz at 18dB

Calibration volume = -25dB
Main volume after calibration = -6dB

Adjust to taste. There will be no sound until MS-8 is completely setup.

Yes... those are my default settings verbatim.
