New Morel option for 8" underseats

Wonder if these will work?
https://www.parts-express.com/morel-...oofer--297-008

I think they will, their specifications show them to be within 1/8" mounting depth of the Kicker SSMB-8 I currently have as my underseats. Parts Express has them for $132 each - seems like a good price and could be a great solution for our applications.

hmm - looks interesting!

they are 2,375" deep
SWS is 2 1/8" deep

Wonder if there is the space on the front to lift them up enough for clearance on the front and back.

SWS sound is most often called 'less hifi correct' and more 'subwoofer' sounding.
Normally Morel is fast and correct (& musically good) to listen to.

hmmm - maybe a try worth...

I'm sure this will fit with minimum modifications. As a midbass I'm sure it will work fine and the specs all look good, but don't expect this to work like a subwoofer!

Is your system still running well? How many miles on the car now?

Mine has 125K but running like a champ, just put in a new water pump/thermostat in a totally preventive move. Just can't see myself getting a new car until the G20's come out. Also continue to be very happy with my JL Audio/Morel/Helix system. I switch the Kicker SSMB8 underseats out for the Morels it will be totally out of boredom. I guess this is the downside of getting things the way you like on your car... no more projects,

Yeah I got bored as well one day, and decided to take everything out and sell it! It's funny, my love for car audio just kind of faded away. I got to the point where I did not think I could make any more significant improvements, and that was the end of the line for me. I can't really explain it, just happened. I must be getting.......old I guess!
