i am with you brother. there are too many on this forum that instantly go to the "bad install" advice and do not give answers. "your install is bad and tuning is bad thats why it sounds bad." that is not always the case. he asked about speakers and most on here instantly go to the bad install help....the ones that do need to stay out of helping cause they are hindering rather than helping...
It's not like these people are going to die if they are asked simple questions about how their stuff is installed and tuned. They call it diagnostics. If there's a problem, you rule out the easy, simple fixes first. If my problem can be fixed with a slight adjustment of my gain, some foam, or a little bit of equalization. You trust your doctor to ask you the questions they think are important, so why not trust the people who have been on this website for several years to do the same? Sure, most of us didn't go to school for this crap, only some of us do this professionally, but we have experience where the newer people don't. That's the point. If you can't answer these types of simple questions, then that's totally fine. Just don't start telling people that they aren't helping the situation at hand, when in reality, it's you being incapable of understanding these simple concepts of audio. It's pretty embarrassing when the guy who creates the thread has to resort to name calling and down-voting posts because he's getting asked "difficult" questions.
On topic, I've had the Morel Maximos. They're discontinued, and the price you'd get them at now would be more than they're worth. As far as mid-range punch, if you say you've done all you can do with the EQ, they've been tuned correctly, and you've tried at least a little bit of sound dampening, you're probably right in that it's time to look for something else. There's only so much that an install can do, and there's a reason that we all have different speakers in our cars. They
do all sound different. I'm sorry I don't have experience with the other speakers you mentioned, I'd just like to say that a lot of us here deal with horrible installs on a daily basis, so forgive us if you feel like we're asking stupid questions. We're only trying to help.
