Performance in this enclosure
01Is it a sealed driver?
Efficiency bandwidth product places the motor before anything else is decided.
02What the box does to it
0.96 cu ft against a 42.0 L Vas.
03The watts that reach Xmax (in this enclosure)
Travel scales with the square root of power, so there is one wattage that puts the cone exactly on 9.5 mm — and a bigger one once a subsonic filter stops it wasting travel below the passband.
| Param | Value | Unit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fs | 33.00 / 29.00 | Hz | free-air resonance |
| Qts | 0.380 / 0.350 | SC102, 2 ohm / SC104, 4 ohm | |
| Vas | 42.00 / 50.00 | L | equivalent compliance |
| Sd | 346.0 | cm² | effective piston area |

From the shop floor
Installer's take
Measure the installed height, not the cabinet height. The box is 7.13 tall on its own and the standoffs add 1.75, so plan around 8.88 inches of stack on the 30 by 15 footprint.
The 5.63 inch motor sets this cabinet's height, not the airspace, so it ends up at 0.96 cubic feet instead of the 0.60 Butterworth box and reads a little over-damped, Qtc 0.61 on the SC102. That is a clearance fact, not a tuning choice; the wedge version gets the 0.60.
Morel's spec sheet and Morel's 2016 manual disagree on this driver. The sheet's numbers reproduce their own moving mass and land inside Morel's recommended volumes; the manual's do not, so the sheet is what this cabinet is built to. Say so if a customer brings the manual.
Polyfill is already in as a wall lining. Adding more makes the box act larger and walks the alignment off the Butterworth volume.

Questions
Does this fit both the SC102 and the SC104, and will any other 10 inch fit?
Both, yes. The 2 ohm SC102 and the 4 ohm SC104 share one basket, one 8.87 inch cutout, one 10.35 inch frame and one 5.63 inch mounting depth, so the fit is identical and the inserts are pressed for both.
Any other 10, no. The airspace is engineered around the SC102's 0.38 Qts and 42.0 liters of Vas, and a different woofer that happened to drop into the hole would not see the alignment printed on this page.
Why 0.96 cubic feet when the Butterworth volume is 0.60?
Because the driver's 5.63 inch mounting depth sets the minimum cabinet height on the 30 by 15 platform, not the target volume. The motor reaches 4.13 inches into the cavity and needs 0.75 inch above it, which puts the cabinet at 7.13 inches tall and the airspace at 0.96 cubic feet whether the alignment wants it or not.
The result is a slightly over-damped alignment, Qtc 0.607 for the SC102 and 0.590 for the SC104, still inside Morel's own 13 to 30 liters, 0.46 to 1.06 cubic feet sealed range. Half power lands at 62.8 and 60.4 Hz. The wedge version of this cabinet, where depth is free, holds the 0.60 Butterworth volume.
What amplifier power should I run, and how should I wire it?
Morel rates the Ultimo Titanium SC at 600 watts RMS, so target 420 to 600 watts RMS at the final impedance. Both coils are single voice coil drivers: the SC102 is a nominal 2 ohm load at 1.3 ohms DC, the SC104 a nominal 4 ohm load at 3.0 ohms DC.
A 2 ohm load from the SC102 is within most monoblocks' rating, but confirm your amplifier's minimum stable impedance before you buy that coil; the 4 ohm SC104 is the safe answer on any amplifier.
How tall is this once the standoffs are on?
The cabinet is 7.13 inches tall measured in the down fire position, and that figure excludes the standoffs. The standoffs hold 1.75 inches under the baffle, so plan your space around a finished stack of roughly 8.88 inches.
The footprint is the standard Performance Optimized down fire platform, 30.00 inches wide by 15.00 deep. Height is the only dimension solved to the driver, and here it is the driver's 5.63 inch motor that sets it.
Why is the front baffle double-layered?
The baffle is two bonded 3/4 inch sheets, 1.5 inches through. A subwoofer pushes as hard against its mounting surface as it does against the air, and a single 3/4 inch panel flexes under that load, which smears output and works the driver loose over time.
The outer layer is machined as a flush recess to Morel's 10.35 inch frame, so the driver bolts to the inner layer through pressed threaded inserts.
What is the expected low-frequency extension?
Anechoic F3 is 62.8 Hz for the SC102 and 60.4 Hz for the SC104, with system resonance at 52.7 and 48.9 Hz. Below Qtc 0.707 the rolloff is gentle and F3 sits above fc, which is what an over-damped sealed box does.
Those figures exclude cabin gain. In a car the transfer function of the cabin adds real output below 50 Hz, so in-vehicle response runs deeper than the numbers above. Morel's own sheet publishes no in-box F3 for this driver.
Do I need to add polyfill or damping?
No. Polyfill is already installed as a light wall lining to control internal reflections, and the quantity is chosen so it does not change the acoustic volume.
Do not add more. Packing a sealed box with fill makes it behave as though it were larger, which walks the alignment away from the 0.96 cubic feet this cabinet was built to.
Is the driver included? What do I get?
No driver. This is an enclosure only. You receive the cabinet finished in plush black carpet, threaded inserts pressed to the Morel bolt pattern, stainless machine screws, one side-mounted pre-wired terminal cup, the standoffs and the polyfill lining already in place.
The Morel Ultimo Ti SC102 / SC104 is purchased separately. The cabinet is cut direct fit to that driver, so it is not a general purpose 10 inch box.
