Which Morel Speakers Fit in My Car or Truck?

If you’re looking for an easy way to improve the sound quality of your car stereo system, a Morel speaker upgrade is the perfect solution. Morel offers speakers in almost every size and configuration, so it’s easy to choose a model that will fit your vehicle perfectly and give you that detailed, natural sound that has made this brand so sought after. Let’s look at the speaker sizes and configurations available and what solutions might fit in your car, truck or SUV.

Let’s Talk About Speaker Size

Aftermarket car audio speakers are offered in several standardized diameters and dimensions to match what automakers use when they assemble your vehicle. In most instances, you’ll want to replace the speakers that came with your vehicle with better-sounding Morel solutions of the same size. This approach gives you the quality and detail upgrade you want without having to make a significant investment in a custom installation. Morel speakers are available in coaxial two-way and two- and three-way component designs. For those wanting something special, a custom installation with A-pillar or dash pods can provide optimized locations that, when combined with proper system calibration, can deliver an exceptionally realistic soundstage.

Speakers come in many sizes to fit different locations but also to focus on reproducing different parts of the audio spectrum. A small speaker that focuses on reproducing high-frequency information is called a tweeter. Tweeters (1.5 inches and smaller) typically play from 1,500 to 4,000 hertz to beyond the upper limits of human hearing. Midrange drivers (2 to 4 inches) are designed to reproduce vocals and other mid-band frequencies from 150 hertz to wherever the tweeter takes over. Perfecting the design of a midrange driver is crucial to reproducing music with accurate tonal balance. A woofer (5 to 9 inches) is a larger speaker that is designed to handle bass frequencies below where the midrange drivers play. These drivers need more excursion capability and power handling so they can move more air. Kick drums, synthesizers and bass guitar sounds are reproduced by woofers. Our two-way speaker sets use high-quality mid-woofers that cover the upper bass and midrange frequencies from a single driver. A three-way set would include woofers, midrange drivers and tweeters.

Speaker System Geometry

A Morel coaxial speaker is a single unit that combines a woofer or midrange driver with a tweeter mounted on a post that extends up through the speaker’s center. Our Maximo Ultra series speakers include many coaxial designs to make upgrading your audio system easy.

Morel’s Integra speakers take the coaxial concept to a new level of performance. A true point source design concentrically places a premium-quality tweeter at the center of the woofer in line with the bottom of the cone. Whether listening to the speaker directly or off-axis, as in most automotive installations, the sound from both drivers arrives at your ear simultaneously. This mechanical “time alignment” helps to deliver smooth and predictable frequency response through the crossover region for improved tonal balance and realism.
