New Build - 2019 JL Wrangler 2 door

I dropped the Morel mids into the dash and they look like they were made for that location! Also, the supplied Morel tweeter mounts are surprisingly perfect to simply mount to the factory grille! Sorry guys, no exciting custom work on the tweets and mids, this was too easy! Lol

Here is the MW6 (almost) in the Metra pod... It is much closer to fitting than I thought it would be. I'll make a baffle for the speaker and trim the opening a little, and that should do it. It's very plasticy though, so I think I'll line the inside with something, but I am not sure with what yet. The outside will get a full cld wrap...

I had that issue with those JL C3 mids in our JK - the dang basket wouldn't fit into those pods. Had to use a baffle to space them out more, which is a bit too close to the grille than I'd like.

May look at other speaker options later on when budget allows for it. But it looks like those MW6 fit way better than those C3-650 do!

Heh, took a page out of my book mounting the tweet pod to the factory grille, lol. That's a mighty fine spot for tweets in a lot of cases. Works quite well basically creating a coaxial with a properly aimed tweeter firing across the midrange in stock locations. And gorgeous sub. Wranglers aren't known to be a good choice for "SQ" so may as well make that thing a ground pounder that will sound pretty good when needed:woohoo:

Yep, these are pretty close to fitting as is... I will use a thin baffle, like 1/4" max and I'll also mount the speakers with the grille on to protect it while shoving it in place under the dash... I used these same drivers and did the same thing in my JK. I hope the aperiodic vent helps the speaker think it has more air space that it does. ;)

Yep! You can't tell in the picture, but the plastic pod for the tweeter matches the grille's plastic perfectly! When they are in the dash in looks oem except for the beautiful Morel lotus grille...

For those of you who buy my used gear, here is one of the things I do to protect stuff while fabricating and installing... Amps are wrapped in a couple layers of shrink wrap and then taped along the edges. On top of that I am really careful, as one little slip or a dropped tool can really do some ugly damage (as we all know).

I can vouch for that, fantastic seller here if anyone ever thinks about buying from David.

I can relate to a slip screwing the pooch. Got a LONG scratch on one of my amps because of an install blunder where I slipped while doing a two person job by myself:daniel:

I have had a brand new subwoofer surround wrapped around a Philips bit before! :fear:

Me too...a couple times. Now when I'm mounting a speaker of any kind my hand is used as a guard. Flesh heals on its own most of the time. Can't say the same about the cone and surround of a speaker.
