    Maybe, I didn't mean to be harsh. Morel is a great name. And I haven't heard these. So who knows! Not

    me, I just voiced my thoughts.

    You mean WAS a great name. They too have succumbed to not always staying true to form and have a bunch of stuff I'd have no interest in. The comp set in question I am not referring to and have no experience with, but in general Morel doesn't get a thumbs up across the board IMO.

    meh.

    so i'll be the first to say i don't know much about reviewing speakers. but the morels are the nicest i've owned. of course this has a lot to do with a proper deadening job. so anyway, i'm running them off head unit power and they distort at about the same volume the stock speakers did. but i can actually hear vocals! and there's midbass! i'm sure they would be louder and clearer if amped.. but for my listening i am happy.

    i am unbelievably angry that this ia sale came up days after i bought my speakers though. oh well

    Morel is known to be a very high end driver manufacturer. I don't think that these would be their best effort. That could be why they showed up at Amazon. Also it looks like the price went up on these. I saw a post on another forum where the price was around 80-90 bucks! I'd try the IA.

    a little harsh don't you think? they were on sale and unfortunately i missed it by a month. oh well, funds were the issue. the ia components show up on amazon as well ;) i ended up buying the morels simply because i had a budget of about $250 to finish deadening and get come decent components; and they were cheaper. i'll buy a dcon or two to support the ssa community soon

    Best advice would be to read as many reviews on both products. And or go to as many shops and listen to the brands they carry. Morel is a very respectable company and make great sounding speakers. I have yet to hear the Maximos or the new IA's, but I have had IA subs in the past and they make a great sub!The Morels are sold directly by Amazon so no worries there until they quit carrying them.

    thanks man

    Best advice really. Everyone has different tastes for their front stage.Comparing IA's subwoofers to the Maximos is like comparing apples to oranges, dontcha think? :PSince these speakers aren't that much money, you could always try a set, sell used, take a little loss, and try the others. I'd rather do that and lose a little bit of cash but end up with what sounds better to me.See what local shops carry, ask if they have any of the products installed in their personal rides so you could get a demo. Listening to the wall is better then nothing. :P

    if only there were shops in indy that carried decent equipment. there's only one i know of that carries orion and that's about the extent of decent equipment.. i'm gonna dig around a little more. thanks

    Well there isn't any T/S specs for either drivers, at least none listed on manufacturer's site.

    How long has Morel been making speakers, specifically midrange, midbass, tweeters, etc?

    How long has IA been doing it?

    Your basically going off the manufacturer name in this case...

    morel is an established name and has been for decades. ia is a great company also, but there are no in depth reviews of either of the speakers. which is why i'm having trouble deciding on either.

    any one have a third candidate?

    You wont be disappointed going with the IA's. Very nice set, especially for the price.

    alright. well looks like.... ia is winning the discussion

    I have the ia comps iv never heard morels. Its really up to you. I have ia subs so I like to keep all the same company for my install.

    yup. thanks for the input

    One thing to consider on the Morels: Is the dealer authorized? Warranty? Tech support?With the IA comps your buying from an authorized dealer, great customer support form IA and SSA. And the members here on the forum can help as well.IA FTMFW!

    damnit. now you're changing my mind. the morels are from amazon and i would assume them to be an authorized dealer. plus a warranty. but none of the support ia has on this board. but they're more expensive. so i'm conflicted

    How about the new Incriminator Compnonents in the SSA Store?

    I would recommend the IA components. I just installed a pair in my car.

    hmm really? they seem to be a little less sensitive, the morels at 90.5db and the incriminators at 88db. i know that's pretty damn comparable, but i may be biased towards the morel name as well..... also, it's $20 shipping for the incriminators. but if they're a better speaker then i will definitely consider them instead.

    well, decided to jump on the bandwagon again. i've decided i want some decent entry level comps. i've been looking at morel maximo 6.5s.. anything else around $120 that would suit my needs? wanted to stay right at $100 but unfortunately i saw nothing in the classifieds that would suit my needs

    i took my equipment out of my car to diagnose a problem. while it was out it was stolen. so now i am stuck with factory power. the problem now though is, the factory system had some issues when i bought it. at a little over half volume the sound from the tweeters cuts out when there is a louder sound.. like a yell or.. scream. or just louder singing. head unit? or amp. 03 z4 by the way

    bought a 1200d from a CA.com forum member in december 2009. hooked it up to verify that it was working in my buddy's car, but it whined pretty badly. all the cables were properly run. about a month ago i built a box and bought a sub and installed them in my truck. the amp has the same whine it did when i bought it and i also noticed has an "power surge", like there's faulty wiring. and yes, the amp is what is whining. i thought it was just the songs we played to test it but apparently not. i relocated then replaced the power cable replaced the ground and relocated the ground with no change. when playing, it's almost like the bass knob was turned down and at random times turned up to max. well that's not the case because the bass knob that came with the amp does not work either. i've tried running it with and without the knob hooked up and the result ends up the same every time. i switched it to my dad's car and it did the same thing yet again. amp is running at 4 ohms tuned with a multimeter every time.

    messaged the user and asked if he had that problem before. he stated that when it was cold it did whine a little. i told him it will be a while before i can use it in my application. he said that's fine and let him know when that happened and we would talk then. well i messaged him and he hasn't logged on for five months.

    what do i do? in multiple applications it did the same thing so even if i didn't have the common sense to run wire i know for a fact the other two vehicles were set up and worked with their systems.
