Help with Morel speaker setup (amp selection)

[Dirtboy]

Ok, I've been out of car audio for about 10 years so I haven't been following what's been going on in the car audio world.

I need some help with amplifier choices for a Morel speaker setup.

I plan on getting some Morel Elate6 3-way components:

I'm also thinking of getting 2 Morel Ultimo 12 subs:

Now, I need amps that will drive these speakers and will do them justice.

I'm considering some Zapco's. 2 Zapco C2K-6.0X, 1 for the front stage running 4 ohms at 2x150 Watts and 1 for the subs running bridged at 2 ohms at 1x1200 Watts.

Does this sound like a good setup, or should I go with 2 Zapco C2K-9.0XD's? 1 for the front stage running 4 ohms at 2x300 Watts and 1 for the subs running bridged at 2 ohms at 1x2200.

Or any other amp?

zapco would be nice, also look into audison, focal, and Mcintosh. nice amps, but pricey

Thanks!

After I looked around on the Zapco site, my attention changed to the DC1100.1 and the DC750.2. I like the fact that you can hook them up to a laptop to set them up.

Any reason these wouldn't work?

Arc Audio is the recent Robert Zeff (Zapco) designed amps.

Might check them out, they are usually cheaper than current Zapco models.

I have Morel Elates and love them. Elate 9's in the doors, Elate 5's in kickpanels and Elate 5" in center all powered by Zapco dc 1000.4 and a 360.4. Sounds like I am at a live concert.

I have a 1100.1 running my subs now but going to switch that out for a C2K 9.0 and a different sub.

The Elate crossover...

i don't even understand why someone would run that passively.... makes me wanna vomit, unless i missed something (which is completely possible so dont hate lol.)

I.E> I envy your gear, i have lesser gear running active, if i was you i would take advantage of running my **** active if i spent that much money, and i want your stuff to take home please. I can give you an address to send it to.

Hi Dirtboy,

I am using the Morel Supremo 6 with Genesis Amps, sounded excellent. The Morels matches well with Genesis and Audison IMHO.

Some pics of them mate:
