Ok... I'm doing an install in my Audi sometime in the next few months, and am wondering what to do for bass. I've got a perfect 12 at the moment that I'll proably install at least temporarily running off of a cobalt 150.2 (260w RMS @ 4 ohm). Eventually though, I think I'll want to upgrade, so...

Allright then... I'm not going to argue (at this point). Instead, please enlighten me. If the moving mass of a driver has nothing watsoever to do with transient response - and I DO accept that possibility, but not without an explanation - then my understanding is flawed. So for my own...

Ummm.... yes, mass has a fair bit to do with transient response. It's just less of an issue with subwoofers because of the frequencies being played, as well as the fact that you generally have larger motor/magnet structures and more power to manhandle that mass with.

Well... the Morel hybrid line, which I have purchased but not yet installed, gets my vote (I've never heard the rennaisance line from morel usa though). When I auditioned them I put them up against some serious components. I was looking for 6.5" components, as it my audi only has mounting...

Ever looked into Morel? All I can say is do youself a favour and audition a set. Most impressive (absolutely humiliated a set of MB Quart QSDs in the midbass department).

Not sure WTF the supremos are, but I just purchased a set of 6.5" hybrid components after auditioning them. Only cost me the equivalent of $350 USD, and sounded INCREDIBLE to my ears. I listen to alot of rock and heavier stuff where midbass is important. I stacked them up against the rockford...

What, exactly, is SQL?

Well... I'd have never bought a set based on one recommendation on the internet and nothing more. After listening though, I was seriously impressed. These should make it VERY easy to bring the bass up front. I was running them off of some funky *** RF amp with a digital control panel on it...

Allright, I just picked up a set of Morel Hybrid 6" components, and I will need a suitable amp to power them. They are rated at 140 per side RMS, so I'd like to be pushing a minimum of 100 RMS per side CLEAN. The focus is definitely on SQ here, but I'd like to be able to turn it up every now...

Supremo? Not sure what that is.... The Hybrid set uses their neodymium tweeter.. not sure if it's anything special as far as the morel line goes. Sounded great though. Seemed quite smooth and detailed. Then again I was just standing there getting a chubby from the midbass on them, and A/B...

So I was out of town on business for a day and there just happened to be a stereo shop near the hotel. I check it out, and lo and behold they're a morel dealer! I listened to the Hybrid 6" component set and was EXTREMELY impressed. Easily tore the shit out of anything else they had in the...

Perhaps I'll look into the adire components then. Thanks for the info....

DD? I'm assuming you mean digital designs? I have heard the name tossed around but never seen them in town nor for sale online. I can only assume that that means they are super expensive (either way, a link to a supplier would be interesting). The other thing to keep in mind is that this...

Ok.... Forget anything above say 300hz. Which component set out of the following has the best Midbass in the 70hz on up range. - Morel Rennaisance SR-6.2. - Diamond Audio S600 (hex series) - CDT HD series 6.5s - Focal 165W (utopia) - Image Dynamics CXS64 (chameleons) - MB Quart QSD 216...

Yeah.. the CDTs are sounding like a good option, but I don't want to rush out and spend 400 USD before I've considered my options. The making your own set idea sounds ideal in some ways. The only problem is that I am after simplicity. The system will likely be head unit, a set of components...
