Pics to compare the morel with ID OEMs. I have yet to install these, so we will see! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well In my country we can find tempo 6 under $200 ... in that price range this is unbeatable if you can deliver that much power and like soft highs, little low mids ... for alternative you may go DLS R6(80w) or Helix e136 (60-100w)

Update. I've installed my Morel Tempo 6 set. Almost no midbass and they sound muddy with poor separation when the music has a lot going on (any rock song). Pulling the crossover apart reveals maybe 3 smal components inside. The crossover housing could have easily been less than half this size - which tells me that the manufacturer wants to fool the buyer into thinking that there's more in there than there is...that it's like most other crossovers. I'll try to get a picture, but it's empty inside. I wish I would have tried the CTX65CS instead....

That is very odd. My doors are not deadened yet, and I must tell you. My midbass is flawless. Hits low and nice. As for muddy, I am curious to how your setting are or what is going on in your setup.

I played Eagles, Fray, Tool and hip hop. they played crisp and clear. I even toned down my highs quite a bit as well as my lows. Mine are crossed around 65hz.

Any of the ID guys heard the CXS62's with about 300 on them?
I've been tosssed up between the CTX's at 150 or the CXS's at 300

i would go with the cxs @300 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i currently run my xs comp set with 300 watts and they sound beautiful. really come to life

Seems like we listen to similar music. I've tried quite a few things. I'm working on a pre-amp voltage/gain issue right now though.....(to achieve the correct voltage vie JLs gain instructions, I must crank the gains - and the amp is set for a low-voltage input, where mine should be 5v, which makes me think it should be set on high voltage. So, basically, what Im having to do is set the amp on the most sensitive setting, THEN crank up the gains to achieve the correct voltage at 3/4 HU volume... argh.

What amp are you using? How many watts and what are you crossing them over at? I have mine bridged 250x2. I had set mine with a dmm and my gains were just before the 1/2 way point, so lots of gain still to be left.

My decks vol. goes up to 62 and the most I have turned it up was 40 and that is very rare. These things scream and don't get sloppy at higher volumes either. I do have to adjust my gains over as the other day playing with my x-over settings I accidentally turned my gain knobs. It should be close to where it's setting per dmm.

I have a JL HD600/4 It's running in 4ch mode, so 150 per channel.
