driver side mainly at driver. I had to get the driver side hooked up and playing. Sound super good paired with the RF T3 6.5's in the doors. Best sounding front stage i have done or heard to date.

Thank for the phasing advise, i will keep that in mind when tune w/ the twk 88. Major piecs are coming together and i like it.

I’m sure it’s listed on this thread somewhere, but I’m too far off into tequila sunrisers to search. Sort of a relaxer for tomorrow’s Meca event. But what amplification setup we have planned for the front stage ???

A RF T400-4 for the Morels. (75x4) A RF T400-2 For the RF T3 6.5" in the doors. (150x2)

with a RF T1500 cp in a 12" T1 sub.

Don’t angle too hard “primary focus” on the driver, it will take a chance of narrowing the width of the sound stage. You have to have a compromise to keep the width to the outer reach of the mirrors. I have a secret tip for you depending on amplification setup ...

The sound coming from the Morel drivers are spot on with the twt & woofer at the same position & distance. I am really happy with this purchase, good equipment is going to cost you more but it can be for  a reason sometimes.

I think you have told me before and with my amp configuration i can't do it. I will play with speaker alignment more and get it off the driver some.

Totally agree with this. A 1 seat setup isnt always best. You can make both both sides symmetrical and still tune to 1 seat.  

 

I have my drivers side aimed at the passenger and the passenger side aimed at the driver.  This way it "looks correct" but also when tuning you can actually have a fake center channel like this without actually having one

Totally agreed. I went into this saying "2 way active with stock locations. $2500 budget"  here I am 6 months later about 8 grand into it. And not quite done spending money with 3 way custom pillars and all sorts of crap
