Apparently Axiom does supply upon request. I am not sure how exactly they are terminated. You may have to solder them on. The resistor will decrease the power fed to the tweeter and make the tweeter sound "softer". It may be acceptable to you or it might not but it doesn't hurt to try.

Is it possible for the drivers to give out this harshnees?

I very much doubt it. You can always disconnect the tweeters to assure yourself. I don't know how easy it is to do that. I imagine they use quick disconnect or screw on terminals.

Congratulations. How were the tweeters connected? So you'll get yourself a couple of resistors then?

A couple connections not really quick and would rather refer to them as stubburn disconnects. I'm going to get ahold of Axiom and see if I can get some resistors. If this fixes my issue I see M80's in my future!

Try to get Axiom to terminate the resistors for you so that you can just slip them on to the tweeter and the wires.
Let us know how it sounds when you're done.

Let us know how it sounds when you're done. Unfortunate news. Per Axiom they do not advocate using resistors as it would alter the sound, etc. They have suggested working with the placement of the center. Damn.

that is REALLY strange!! I would suggest pming Alan to ask him about this, I have heard in the past that Axiom has supplied resistors to other owners...
