Hybrid Audio, Morel, or Helix?
I've been out of the custom audio world for about two decades now, but found a local shop that does great work that I'm going to have put in a 10" sub and amp for starters in my trunk. We've also discussed having custom pillar enclosures made for new midranges, and adding a DSP.
What I'm curious about, is the three brands I listed in the post title -- Hybrid Audio (Legatio line), Morel, and Helix/Match -- are those considered high end brands these days? I could care less about loudness, I'm completely after nothing but sound quality. The shop is recommending I go with a HA Legatio sub and Helix/Match amp/DSP, and eventually Legatio mids/tweeters up front in the custom pillar enclosures (that was my choice over trying to make them fit in the door midrange slots). They have some of their work available for viewing on their site: The Car Audio Shop Side note: they also recommended Bavsound as a great drop in replacement for the stock speakers and said they do installs with them often for folks who don't want to go the custom route. I'm going to have them install my Bavsound Ghost subs when they do the 10" sub in the trunk. He said they basically act as great low-end midranges since the midranges in the doors are too small to get good low end. edit -- they'll install anything you want, those are just the brands they're licensed dealers for and recommend Last edited by omgmike; 11-30-2022 at 09:12 AM.. |

PM me about audio. I'm a car audio competitor and former national champion, and part owner in a speaker manufacturing company. I'll be glad to chat.

All plug and play at this time. Plan on adding 8channel amp, larger sub. It will be a Class A/B amp. As they are much larger than Class D amps, problem is space for the amp. Speakers go in on Thursday. I'll be sure to post pics post install. |

Me too, almost certain the B&W speakers are rebranded Alibaba quality speakers or worse. My X5M B&O makes my M5 sound like absolute dogshit and that's putting it politely. Wife has a pre covid f30 beater for commuting to Elizabeth and that has an HK base system and that destroys the M5's B&W as well. No way they didn't pull some shenanigans with the B&W speakers likely bc of covid supply issues. My mother ordered an X5 during covid where they were only shipping cars with base audio bc of the shortage and that also makes the M5 sound like it has 1 speaker from a kid's toy.
