Also wiring the rears and sides in parallel is the only way that ms-8 has enough channels when used with a center. This is the recommended configuration by Andy W.

The second paragraph is correct. The sws cannot handle midbass so stock midbasses either hifi or L7 are better if you use a trunk sub. Without a trunk sub its a tradeoff you have to decide for yourself; better modbass or sub bass. With those focals you may be able to use a low enough crossover point to pull it off.
I will try recalibrating with lower (140hz) frequency later today. Can you confirm if I should be matching the volume by raising the external amp levels before calibrating the MS-8?
