Morel BMW Integration Reference
The IR-BMW42 sits at Reference level in Morel's BMW Integration range. The DirectFit design uses a unique 4-inch chassis, supplied mounting brackets, snap-in 1.1" (28mm) tweeters and factory wire connections to fit modern BMW models without any modification.
Each 4-inch (100mm) woofer uses a 2.1" (54mm) voice coil and a Hybrid EVC motor for high power handling and precise cone control. The tweeter uses Morel's 28mm Acuflex silk dome with a dual neodymium magnet motor. The system is designed for use with an amplifier or DSP upgrade.

DPC cone
DPC (Damped Polymer Cone) is derived from the cone technology Morel is known for. Its high self-damping characteristics deliver sound quality without colouration or harshness.
EVC motor
Morel's EVC technology uses oversized voice coils for improved heat dissipation, power handling and linearity. The motor system sits within the voice coil, eliminating stray magnetic flux and directing all magnetic energy where it is needed. The result is a compact, magnetically shielded and efficient motor design.
Handcrafted Acuflex soft dome
A specialised damping compound is hand-applied to each soft dome, adding rigidity and improving tweeter clarity and bandwidth. The Acuflex diaphragm uses controlled break-up cancellation — each break-up mode is counteracted by another in the opposite direction — producing a smooth frequency response.
Hybrid magnet motor
The Hybrid motor combines a ferrite magnet with a powerful neodymium magnet to create a compact, lightweight and powerful motor system. More amplified power is converted into sonic energy, delivering strong performance even from a small driver.

About the Morel IR-BMW42
From our tech experts at CEN
Vehicle-specific component speakers from Morel’s BMW Integration line, the Reference tier, made to fit BMW factory locations and connectors without adapter rings or cutting.
Who it suits
BMW owners who find the factory speakers the weakest part of an otherwise excellent car. Plug-and-play sets keep the install reversible, which matters on a leased or valuable vehicle.
Our tech experts advise
Fitment varies by model, year and which factory audio system the car left with, so we confirm against your exact vehicle before ordering rather than assuming. These will go considerably further with amplification behind them. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.
Q: Which BMW models does the Morel IR-BMW42 fit?
A: The IR-BMW42 uses Morel's DirectFit design to fit modern BMW models without modification, and mounting hardware for all BMW models is included. Contact CEN with your model and year if you would like fitment confirmed.
Q: Do I need to cut any wiring to fit the IR-BMW42?
A: No. It uses plug and play factory wire connections, with connecting cables, cable splitters and tweeter crossovers supplied, along with mounting brackets and trim tools.
Q: What is in the box with the Morel IR-BMW42?
A: IR-BMW42 speakers and tweeters, a pair of Adapter 1 (already mounted), a pair of Adapter 2, a pair of Adapter 3, a pair of gaskets, connecting cables, cable splitters, tweeter crossovers, mounting brackets and trim tools.
