Under the heading "No Replacement For Displacement".
I swapped out the Morel MM2's for Morel MM3's based on 1) JagBass said they were great and would fit, just, and B) I had a conversation with a guy that had competed in IASCA and had been published in Car Stereo Review back in the day. He said my little 2" domes might sound fine but could not play with "impact" when pushed.




I also took out all the EQ I had put in the DSP. I figured maybe Meridian might have gotten that part OK. Played with input levels and crossover points. Went for a drive to tank up on Premium.

Rearranging the deck chairs. I had the polarity on the input from the right side mid out of phase with the left side. Indicated by having a null on the input (summed) screen on the DSP. I had compensated by having the output at the amp swapped back but it bugged me.

I pulled it all apart and moved the power distribution block to the lower level, rearranged the upper level supports, made a bigger upper level amp rack and reinstalled everything with better access to the DSP. I could have just flipped the the input in the DSP software but would have kept me up at night. I swapped the input into the LGD and swapped the output at the amp. Checked the DSP and ran SpeakerPop. Everything is happy. Played with input levels, crossovers and AccuBASS level. I pushed the high pass on the GB60's to 100 and the low pass on the GB12D4 to 70. Trying to get more midbass punch.

Planning to make some big changes though.

Going to swap Morel MW9's for the GB60's. But they're going to need double the power so, going to swap out the MSix and the DM-810 for an Audison AF M8.14. I'll also swap the PDX M12 for an AF M1D. Three things: I can eliminate one component, I can bridge the Forza's channels giving 280 watts and I can stack them with the Prima tower kit which should look very tidy.

OK, four things. The DM-810 and the GB 60's are going in the XF.

Just to catch up, one of the AudioFrog GB60's stopped playing a couple weeks ago. Turns out the Jag's doors leak like crazy and what got through from the car wash corroded the tiny hex screw terminals. I swapped in an Audible Physics AR6K I had laying around, ordered a set of Morel MW9's and texted JagBass to check his midbass door drivers. He sent back a picture of his MW9's looking a bit discolored from water and then a video of water cascading past the driver opening while he held a hose to the outside if the window. We quickly devised a solution using NVX silicone baffles that not only guided water around the driver but also sealed the driver to the door and the front sound wave to the door card. They needed a small modification to not get caught up in the window lift hardware. Strongly recommend these be used in all aftermarket driver installations. https://nvx.com/collections/speaker-baffles

I didn't change the tune on the DSP. The sound is a bit punchier, no replacement for displacement strikes again. There is a beta update for the AudioControl Smart DSP APP and firmware update on the DSP. I did it last week and the update went well.

Removed DM-810 and LGD’s. Removed M SIX.
Installed P SIX DSP Ultimate.
Signal is much cleaner and detailed.
Modest upgrade in power.
