[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8811291, member: 682903"] Do you know for a fact the OEM woofer is not getting a full range signal? Did you test the output to see if it is low passed? In the first post you seemed unsure if it was active, or if it was a full range signal, after editing it seems you think the OEM woofer and tweeter are both crossed. A lone woofer may not produce a lot of high / tweeter frequency, so just an ear test on the working side woofer may not be enough to say for certain if it is crossed or not; it's not going to sound like the tweeter even with a full range signal. I'm not saying you're wrong, just trying to make sure. To test it, I would remove the door panel, remove the OEM woofer, then connect a 2-way speaker I have laying around to the woofer wires and see if it is full range or not, to take out any guessing and fairly quick to do. I would do this on the side with the blown woofer, to make sure it is not an OEM amp or wire problem, so rules that out too. This way I know for sure, and don't have to guess based on online searching. If it were me, I would not spend that kind of money on a set of Morel's, just to use an OEM amp, with a crossover point / slope that likely isn't correct for the Morel drivers. I'd for sure install an amp, passive or active doesn't really matter to me, but it would get an amp, probably just using the Morel passive setup to make it easier. Lastly. If the OEM woofer is getting a full range signal, you can simply wire the Morel crossover up there, and then connect the Morel drivers to the crossover, and it will work properly. Don't hook up the OEM tweeter wiring to anything. If the OEM system is active for both drivers, you could technically just install the new woofer / tweeter in place of the OEM, but again, crossover is not likely to be correct? but should technically "work", just maybe not perform as well as it should. If it is full active, you can not use the Morel crossover, as it needs a full ranger signal to split the frequencies properly. Welcome to the forum, hope you get it figured out. The forums are a little dead compared to years ago, but hopefully someone can help, still some knowledgeable people around here. [/QUOTE]
