I love JL subs....especially the W6's but the Morel Ultimo is in a league of it's own. Quite possibly the worlds most perfect sub. Talk about power handling....the damned thing has a 5" voice coil.

Gonna swap this in and change the HU to a Kenwood Excelon DNN990HD with the PAC interfaces for steering wheel controls and stuff.

I've heard great things about the home speakers so I can imagine the sub is great.

Heh Ultimo 12 sounds like some crap out of a panel truck in front of Walmart.
I hope you enjoy your changes.

I listened to both...something about the Ultimo I just liked better. Can't really explain it other than it sounded perfect even playing down to 16hz on a pipe organ track. That's what sold me.

I started disassembly today. Have to pull the center console and seats to get the sub out. It's gonna be a couple of weeks before I'm done but I'll get pics for sure.

How does your custom enclosure mate up to the Ultimo?
Any changes have to be made? Sealed right?
Enjoy!
And yea...post up some pics!
You should post a review on DIYMA!

The Ultimo likes a larger than recommended enclosure according to what I've read. Then again so do the JL subs so the enclosure is 1.25 ft^3 sealed and I'll be adding a little Focal Blackhole Stuff for good measure. I think it'll work just about right.

I listened to a pair of the 10's this weekend in 625 ft^3 sealed each....those are what was digging down to 16hz without a hint of trouble. That's friggin impressive. I listened to a 12 in a little over 1 ft^3 sealed and it was equally impressive. I'm hoping for good results.

Looks great. I've had my Tempos in for a couple of weeks, and am really liking them compared to my previous set.
