[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8782283, member: 681035"] I've spent a lot of time thinking about that over the last 25k miles. The system sounds amazing, everybody is blown away honestly. But when you listen for that many hours, you definitely pick it apart. Subs. Still trying to figure out exactly where I want to be here. I started with the 6.5" ported, and while I enjoyed them, they had limitations that I wasn't really able to overcome. So, I swapped those JL shallows in there with a ported box. They were insane for slim subs, but it was a little too peaky, fell on their face with higher bass frequencies. I tried them sealed and wasn't satisfied with the output. Pulled those and am currently running a couple Boston G510's sealed. They are fantastic, I think I will be keeping them. However, the box they are in is massively oversized. They are free air capable so no damage concern, but it really limits vehicle function. I'll figure out a better setup eventually. The kicker amps have been wonderful, no complaints. However, I would go with a 6 channel instead of 2x 4 channels so that I could locate everything under the seats, wouldn't need a third sub amp in the cargo area. Midbass and honestly lower mids period are pretty bad. The combination of the honestly mediocre Morel 6.5's and their location, plus the tiny sealed boxes they are in make it impossible to pull any performance out of them. I honestly don't have a solution for this. Kick panels are pretty much out, really no room to spare there. I could do custom door mounts, but that defeats the purpose of owning a Jeep. I could do sound bar, but that throws the stage off. Upper mids are not quite where I want them to be. The Morel 2.5 mids and tweets are very good, but I've reached the limits of what can be done in the dsp, and have come to the conclusion that it's just placement. On axis tweets and windshield fired mids, I need to build custom pods. Slightly more difficult here because of the A pillar grab handles. Just things I have to modify. Takes time, and honestly a lot of trial and error. Not a vehicle meant for audio enthusiasts, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
