Add a special tweeter
Just the style of Morel's iconic Lotus-design speaker grilles takes your breath away, and then there's the sound... The Elate Carbon Pro 93A 3-way component system includes a 9" woofer, a 3" midrange driver, and the Elate Alto 1.1" tweeter, not included with the "non-Pro" Elate Carbon systems. Both the midrange and the woofer use a carbon-fiber/Rohacell cone that minimizes distortion for the most accurate sound possible. And for the Elate Alto tweeter, Morel draws on cavity-back technology developed for their flagship Supremo Piccolo tweeter for astounding highs.
Elate Carbon tweeter
Morel enhances the performance of the silk dome tweeter with a coating of Acuflex™ compound, which helps damping for a natural sound. By cancelling break-up that can happen at high-frequencies, this special tweeter soars with a frequency response that reaches up to 25,000 Hz. Additionally, Morel allows for a very low crossover point, which means this tweeter can achieve powerfully realistic performance and a highly accurate soundstage with even the most complex music.
Build an active system
Passive crossover systems are not included. Morel designed these Elate Carbon speakers to be neutral, without coloration, so that you can use your active crossover to craft exactly the right sound for you and your vehicle. You'll need an active crossover to use these speakers. If you would like to use passive crossovers with this system, optional Morel MXT380C crossovers are available
Why choose Morel?
It's hard to not feel overwhelmed by your choices when deciding which component system is worthy of your car... and your ears. But if you're looking for the best, Morel's component speakers soar. Every bit of that excellence is due to their passion for sound and their insistence that every hand-made Morel driver be tested to meet their premium standards.
Installation note: You'll need a pair of our universal backstraps to install the tweeters in most factory locations.

Product Research
Features
Woofer Cone: Morel describes the woofer as having a Triple Layer Cone design; two exterior carbon fiber layers sandwiching a layer of Rohacell (a high strength, lightweight foam).
Midrange Size: The midrange drivers are not a standard size, approximately 3" diameter. They can be top or bottom mounted, and have these dimensions:
- Top mount depth: 1.523"
- Mounting height: 0.255"
- Flange height: 0.185"
- Bottom mount depth: 1.708"
- Tweeter Protrusion: 0.07"
- Cutout diameter: 3.254"
- Frame diameter: 3.944"
Tweeters: The silk dome tweeters are coated with Acuflex, a damping compound designed to minimize distortion. The tweeter is designed to be flush mounted; it is built on a flush mount frame. The dome is very delicate, so the mesh grille should always be used.
Tweeter Dimensions:
| Flush Mount | |
|---|---|
| Mounting Height | 0.465" |
| Mounting Depth | 1.175" |
| Cutout Diameter | 2.095" |
| Frame Diameter | 2.722" |
Crossover: No crossovers are included with these speakers; the system is designed to be actively crossed over using a DSP (digital signal processor), an active crossover, or the crossovers in your amplifier. (A crossover of some type MUST be used.) The best crossover settings will vary depending on the driver placement and the vehicle's interior acoustics. Morel's recommendations are listed below. If you prefer a passive crossover, use the optional Morel MXT380C (sold separately).
- Recommended Range:
- Tweeter High-Pass: 1.8 kHz to 4 kHz crossover point, 12 dB/octave slope
- Midrange Low-Pass: 1.8 kHz to 4 kHz crossover point, 12 dB/octave slope (6 dB/octave minimum)
- Midrange High-Pass: 300 Hz to 750 Hz crossover point, 12 dB/octave slope
- Woofer Low-Pass: 350 Hz to 750 Hz crossover point, 12 dB/octave slope (6 dB/octave minimum)
- Woofer High-Pass: 40 Hz to 80 Hz crossover point, 12 dB/octave slope (when used with a subwoofer)
