The Ultimo was engineered to set new standards in subwoofer technology and bass performance, satisfying the most demanding car audio enthusiasts. Available in a single voice coil configuration, the Ultimo subwoofer series is engineered to perform well in both sealed and ported enclosures, offering the flexibility of a wide range of applications. Equipped with a gigantic 5.1” Hexatech™ External Voice coil (EVC™), constructed of heavy gauge high temperature aluminum wire and an extra thick aluminum former, the Ultimo subwoofer produces 1000WRMS (3000W peak) clean power output. The new DMM™ motor design achieves over 90% efficiency and the PFS™ spider/surround technology ensures maximum linearity, minimum distortion, and truly a flat response curve. The
Ultimo
subwoofer
employs
a
unique hybrid paper-carbon fiber composite
cone
that
generates
an extraordinary combination of musicality and cone rigidity needed for SQ and SPL applications.
The high venting capability of the voice coil and the rigid Uniflow™ die-cast aluminum basket design provide reliable and stable operation of the subwoofer, enabling many hours of listening enjoyment. Morel’s new, top-of-the-line subwoofer was a long time in coming, but it was well worth the wait. Spoil yourself, and hear how bass was meant to sound.

1. Octopus Grille Innovative design to provide protection and maintain acoustic transparency. The grille exerts pressure on the edges of the surround, providing added stability during extremely high power output. 2.

fiber
produces

musicality,

handling and low distortion, while eliminating cone breakup and other issues that may occur at high output levels.

3. Progression field symmetry engineering (PFS™) PFS™ produces longer linear excursion and optimized performance at high power output, enabling the spider and surround to reach optimal performance especially at high output levels. Under
extreme
conditions,
the
spider
and
surround
progressively act as “shock absorbers” to prevent voice coil displacement and bottoming, and improve voice coil linearity. 4. Black Aluminum Former Thick and durable aluminum former with ultra high thermal limit properties for long-life performance. This material was specially selected for its proven qualities in speaker applications over time. 5. External Voice Coil (EVC™) The Ultimo’s gigantic 5.1” voice coil improves cone support and ensures high power handling. The large EVC voice coil provides unique advantages: • It is 2-3 times larger than in conventional speakers with the same cone diameter, enabling clear and precise sound reproduction even at higher sound levels. • The large voice coil provides solid support for the membrane and extra mechanical strength, enabling the use of a shallower cone construction for improved stability and the reduction of cone break-up at high power output. • Higher thermal limits for improved thermal stability and long hours of operation.

6. Accucenter™ Self-centering engineering for easy cone assembly repair. The Ultimo was designed for a lifetime of enjoyment, ensuring that it can be masterfully serviced. 7. Hexatech™ Aluminum Voice Coil The hexagonal shaped voice coil winding ensures minimal loss of magnetic flux and low induction, improving efficiency by up to 20%. This lightweight structure allows for the quick transient response necessary for accurate music reproduction with incredible detail. 8. Uniflow ™ Aluminum die-cast chassis to eliminate vibration noise and for increased durability. The Uniflow™ aerodynamic chassis allows air and sound waves to flow uniformly and smoothly, eliminating interference with the woofer’s moving parts. The geometric design enables the use of a low-profile spider
6
that provides greater support and stability to the voice coil and cone under the most demanding operating conditions.

9. Cooling Duct Enables air-cooling circulation for thermally stable operation of the voice coil. This unique feature contributes to both the performance and the longevity of Morel drivers. 10. Double Magnet Motor (DMM ™) The innovative new design of this optimized and compact
9
DMM™ motor achieves 90% efficiency. It out-performs standard magnet motors that are up to 4 times heavier and 3 times the size when they try to reach the efficiency and
10
performance of Morel’s new magnet motor design. This motor system utilizes a rear-vented tunnel design, which contributes to thermal stability. 11. Magnet Cup enclosure Heavy-duty enclosure, which houses the DMM™ motor, designed to attach to the Uniflow™ chassis to enable quick and easy replacement of the magnet motor and cone coil

“ To sum it up, M orel has an ace in the hole with the Ultimo. Enthusiasts no longer have to choose bet ween sound qualit y and SPL…the Ultimo excels highly at both.” Reviewed by Eric Fitzgerald, Car Audio & Electronics
“The impact, tonality and control were magnificent. I almost pulled over to turn the gains up on my amps even more, so I could be hit in the back of the head even harder. Magnificent!” Reviewed by Dave MacKinnon, Per formance Auto & Sound
“A b s o l u t e l y e v e r y t h i n g t h a t w a s p l a y e d through this subwoofer sounded ter r ific and almost lifelike…This level of accurac y really needs to be heard to be believed.” Reviewed by Marty Price, INCAR Entertainment
