New audio system installed this weekend
I had my new audio system put in my 2015 screw this weekend. I went with a set of Morel Maximo 6 1/2" components up front, NVX 6 1/2" coaxials in the rear, a JL CS112LG-TW3 sub enclosure "single 12" sub in sealed enclosure", NVX 5 channel amp, and JL fix-86 processor. Overall I'm pretty happy with the sound, but there are some areas I think could use improving..... Believe it or not, I'm probably most happy with the rear coaxials lol. They were pretty inexpensive, and sound really nice. The midbass they produce is great! The morels sound pretty good up front, but the midbass is lacking a bit, and the tweeters are just a bit harsh. I also realized the audio shop didn't disconnect the center channel speaker which kind of pissed me off. I'm on the fence about the sub, but think I'm going to swap out simply because it's sticks out too far from under the back seat. Having said that, the sub does sound good! I'm leaning towards swapping it out for the JL Audio CP208LG-w3v3 which is a ported enclosure with 2 8" subs. I think that will be enough output for what I need and should fit perfectly. The fix-86 did what it's supposed to do and seems to work great. This is the first system I've ever had where I didn't swap out the HU, and had to use a processor. I think once a dash kit becomes available, I will probably invest in a new HU with navigation and ditch the fix-86. The amp and fix 86 are mounted on the floor under the rear seats. Below are some pics of part of the install.

Thank you! Yup, the enclosure is definitely driving me crazy. Working on possibly swapping it out today....

I originally thought that as well, went ahead and purchased a signal processor for my build, but in the end was not needed, its now for sale.
