I have a set of Morel 692 and I love them, I wish Morel made a 4" midrange so I can run three ways. But that another story for another day!

But I taught the better choice was Audio Frog for my midrange or do you think one of the 4ohm Morels would work?

Example:
Midbass plays from 80hz to 450hz cleanly. After 450hz, the frequency response starts to waiver. Lots of peak and valleys or maybe the frequency response simply drops 5db after 450hz.
Tweeter recommends highpass of 2500hz the frequency response starts to waiver down at 2500hz. You remeasure your tweeter at 4000hz highpass and see that the frequency response is now much flatter.
You have now established the frequency ranges your midbass and tweeter play best at. Now you want to bridge the gap. Look for a speaker that plays comfortably and consistently from 450hz to 4000hz. Obviously you can't measure the new speaker before you purchase it so you need to look at speakers that provide the technical sheet for the driver along with a Klippel test graph.
Just food for thought; the best car I heard hands down at Aggieland was a two-way car. You really need to measure your current setup and see if there is a deficiency and what that deficiency looks like. Take a look at the chart below and compare it to your measured frequency response of your entire front stage. What do you think you are missing? Can you EQ? Or is it a limitation of your current speakers? My opinion is, how good your system sounds is 20% speakers, 30% speaker placement, and 50% tune.

You need to find the midrange that best compliments your tweeter and midbass. You don't just pick a brand. Each speaker has its own characteristics and frequency range. Find out where your midbass begins to fall off. Find out the optimal highpass crossover for your tweeter. Then find a midrange that fits in that range.
Example:
Midbass plays from 80hz to 450hz cleanly. After 450hz, the frequency response starts to waiver. Lots of peak and valleys or maybe the frequency response simply drops 5db after 450hz.

That said, once I get the AMP back from Audio control I will PM and setup a tuning session. Maybe I run with 2 ways and see what happens!
Thanks

Anyone try the Morel's with the factory amp? If so, did you lose any volume?
I'm wondering if one of the lower impedance sets by another manufacturer would work better?
