[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7574023, member: 541144"] The Morel Maximos in stock locations on HU power were awful. Nasty midrange reflections that hurt my ears even at moderate volume. No midbass. WTF? Sounded worse than stock. Figured I'd get into the doors and do some deadening... here's what I found: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6168/6168638495_a702362617_z.jpg[/IMG] GM mounted the 5.25 mid to a sealed plastic box! Filled it with fiberfill (oooh, thanks) [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6108/6336866273_8d43cded4c_z.jpg[/IMG] Now what? The Morels are obviously unhappy with this. I needed a long term solution, but for the short term I chopped a big hole in the back of the plastic enclosures and covered them with RAAMat: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6047/6337620118_3f9b71ff56_z.jpg[/IMG] Holes drilled for drainage. Also matted the door skins as much as possible. Still sounded like crap, though better than before. At least the Morels aren't screaming at me. Need to deal with the on-axis tweets though, they're just too loud. I kept this configuration for a while and moved on to the amp rack and subs. Next - More power... [/QUOTE]
