- Choose a suitable mounting location, typically in the vehicle's doors or kick panels.
- Cut a circular opening of the appropriate diameter (refer to specifications for exact dimensions).
- Connect the woofer wires to the corresponding output terminals on the MXR crossover. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Secure the woofer using the provided screws, ensuring a tight fit to prevent vibrations.
4.2. Tweeter Installation
The MT230 tweeters can be flush mounted or surface mounted depending on your vehicle's interior and desired sound staging.

- Select a mounting location for optimal sound dispersion, typically near ear level.
- If flush mounting, cut the necessary opening. If surface mounting, use the supplied mounting cups.
- Connect the tweeter wires to the corresponding output terminals on the MXR crossover. Observe correct polarity.
- Secure the tweeters in place.
4.3. Crossover Installation
The MXR crossovers are essential for directing the correct frequency ranges to the woofers and tweeters.
- Mount the crossovers in a dry, accessible location, away from heat sources and moisture.
- Connect the amplifier's speaker output to the 'Amp In' terminals on the crossover.
- Connect the woofer to the 'Out Woofer' terminals on the crossover.
- Connect the tweeter to the 'Out Tweeter' terminals on the crossover.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
5. Operating the System
Once installed, the Morel Hybrid 602 system operates as part of your vehicle's audio setup. Proper amplifier selection and tuning are critical for optimal performance and longevity.
- Amplifier Matching: Ensure your amplifier's RMS power output matches the speakers' RMS power handling (140 watts per side). Using an underpowered or overpowered amplifier can damage the speakers.
- Gain Setting: Set the amplifier gain correctly to avoid distortion. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase it until the desired volume is reached without audible distortion.
- Equalization: Use your head unit or amplifier's equalizer to fine-tune the sound to your preference. Avoid extreme boosts or cuts that could strain the speakers.
- Listening Levels: While the speakers are designed for high performance, prolonged listening at extremely high volumes can cause hearing damage and speaker fatigue.
6. Maintenance
The Morel Hybrid 602 speakers require minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the speaker cones and grilles. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and ensure no wires are frayed or exposed.
- Environmental Protection: Keep the speakers free from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your speaker system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound from speakers | Loose wiring connection Amplifier not powered on Incorrect crossover wiring | Check all speaker and amplifier connections Verify amplifier power and fuse Review crossover wiring diagram |
| Distorted sound | Amplifier gain set too high Underpowered amplifier Damaged speaker | Reduce amplifier gain Ensure amplifier matches speaker RMS power Inspect speaker for physical damage |
| One speaker not working | Loose connection to that speaker Faulty speaker wire Damaged speaker or crossover channel | Check connections for the specific speaker Test speaker wire continuity Swap speaker with a working one to isolate issue |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact Morel customer support or a certified car audio technician.
