Morel MM3 or Audiofrog Gb25?

trying to choose between the two mid ranges.

a little background

3 way active front with Morel Elate Carbon. my build currently includes the mm3 but my stock location has a very small opening. They should get them to fit but the speaker grills are very small and prob block 25-30 percent of the speaker and output. Installer wants them in the pillar but i prefer the oem look

Installer proposed the Gb25 instead of the mm3. no issues installing and with such a small foot print the full speaker face should fit in the grill opening

a little ocd on mixing speakers.

do you think the MM3 will still sound good even if a large part of the speaker face is blocked?

This is quite a timely post as I just added a Topping and camera adapter to my cart but trying to understand what other cables are needed and how they're wired.
Is this the correct cable to go from the Camera Adapter to the Topping?
Amazon.com: USB B 3.0 Cable, JSAUX USB-A Male to USB-B 3.0 Male (6.6ft/2M) USB 3.0 Type B Upstream Cord Nylon Braided Compatible with Docking Station, External Hard Drivers, Scanner, Printer and More(Black) : Electronics

Also, for power, do I just use a USB-A to USB-C cable from the car's USB port to the camera adapter?

Both of those are a little off.

Here’s a picture of mine

So the larger blue one feeds the topping it’s similar to the one you linked but the topping takes usb B 2.0.

To the right of that is your typical apple lighting to usb charging cable. It’s plugged into a factory usb port in my center console and supply's power to the topping and charges my phone.

The short cable that comes off the top is what plugs into your source Iphone/ipad. I would recommend an extension cable for that as well. Like this one

I’ve never used a DAP so I couldn’t help you there.

AudioQuest Cinnamon USB-C Cable

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because...

It’s still possible going through the topping but I’m thinking you would be better off skipping that step if possible and going direct.

I have read some DAP’s have multiple output’s including digital coax, which would be your best bet.

You would have to find a DAP with an USB output - most only have analog and straight PCM Digital (toslink coax or optical.)
