Good god, what is it with Morel and massive VC's (not that it's a bad thing...)

I am predicting that these are going to be one of in not "the" new SQ sub leading the way for some time.

It was photographed with the motor assembly off so you can see the voice coil.
The second photo has the motor assembly attached.

Seeing as this is a production version, are there any indications of TS specs etc?

I'm interested in how these would compare to my PG Ti 12D Elite

At least I might be able to save a bit on boot space. Or maybe I should just get a bigger car. rolleyes.gif
....
No idea on pricing.... but what about some specs?
~thematt~
Having been blown away by Morels before, I can tell that simplistic looks do not betray the beast within. I have no doubt this one will be an industry leader in Australia.

And that Voice coil looks almost as big at the Phase Linear Aliante LTD. Talk about following in the footsteps of greatness.... biggrin.gif
master_luke
what sizes are they due to come out in? just 10's or 12's?

When you consider that the Elate 6 has a 3" voice coil it is no wonder that the 12" sub has a 5" voice coil.

Price at this stage is speculative $599 to $799.

I just have spoken with Morel Israel tonight and they have said they will get me some specs on email tonight so I will post them here as soon as I get them.

Product will NOT be available ex factory for at least four weeks so a good 8 weeks plus before they are here.

At this stage just SVC 12" but this may change.
Fudd
is that a paper cone? or the same material as the mids?
Reza
I thought Dyn magnum 4 inch VC is huge, this takes the cake. I always love the simplistic look.

Never heard of them make sub woffas! Are you sure this thing will sound good in my sub box that's carpetted in the furry sik pink fur?

Will this be able to make all the panels in my 1987 skyline wagon shake if i use a 5000W Boss audio amp that i picked up off ebay?

When can i pick up one of these off ebay?

tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif




Just kidding! This does look like an awesome sub. Not to start counting pennies to save for one!

P.s. Wanna swop 2 x Boston Pro 12.Lfs for 1?

This is the latest picture from the factory.

The initial size to be released will be a 12 inch SVC other sizes and configurations are very likely to be in the future.

So they did end up going with the carbon fibre cone instead of paper. Still looks good, but it doesn't fit in with the looks of their component speakers.
RMA
I think you will find it is paper and that it is just the way the photo was shot.



Emailing the factory to find out and will post once I have a reply.

The only specs I have ATM are posted on my web site in the "SPECIFICATIONS" area.

www.rmaudio.com.au or www.morel.com.au will also get you there.

We dont expect the looks to appeal to everyone, the object was to build one of the finest SQ subs around not an object-de-art
