Done!
Morels fitted to the front doors today. Simply amazing. They get better and better by the minute. Will require 40 hours to run in. So I've now spent £1500 (including VAT and labour) for the sub-woofer, the amplifier and the Morel Speakers. Worth every penny IMO.  :smiley: :smug:

Next the rear door speakers.  :grin:
In for a penny, in for a pound!

That you did Sir.  :wink:
The Morel Signatures were nearly £1700 for the front set! :shocked: So I stayed with the chavvy ones.  :smiley:

The tweeter is the MT-12, but I am not sure of the mid/bass! I don't know whether it is the Dotech Ovation 4,5 or 6! The '4' is 4", the '5' is 5.25" and the '6' is 6.5".

Just checked the box. I have the Ovation 6 speakers.  :smiley:

Just to divert attention from the cat fights on other threads.
My Left mid/bass Morel is faulty as it can't take the power of bass drums from Mahler's Third Symphony. It cracks at volume level 17 but stops if I reduce the bass from the tone control.
Will be replaced soon.
For all of you who dislike me this will be music to your ears.  :grin:

Just a minor update.
I'll be replacing my rear speakers with similar ones to the front ones on Monday, if Auto Audio can fit me in.
Not counting the cost of RNS 510, the sound system has cost me £2100. And all because I was too mean to spec Dynaudio and the RNS 510 sounds crap.
My advice: Order the excellent value for money Dynaudio when you spec your car.

I still think its a waste to do the rears unless you have a system using an algorithm like logic7 in operation but thats just my view, i would much rather spend the money on a good processor that would make far more of a difference.

Had the Morel Speakers fitted to the rear doors. Overall sound is much cleaner and I am very pleased with the results.
No more to be done to the sound system.
Bluefin re-map next week.
