I'll agree with Peter on that, I think it's best you give Axiom a call to address your concerns and see what they say. As Fred mentioned, those parts are CNC cut, so it's strange about the gap.

I believe they were built in August 06 and Axiom was CRAZY busy during that time frame...

I would not be happy if the inside of my speaker looked like that. It does seem a bit sloppy, and the gaps are inexcusable.
You should call Axiom and let them know.
PS - The inside of my EP800s did NOT look like that.

What is it you want??? If you have problems with your purchase i would take it up with axiom. This is meerly a forum of like minded people who own axioms,not a place to rant and rave. ?? Have you been here long? This is so the place to rant and rave. Folks on this forum, especially owners of axiom products have been raving about said products for a very long time here. Some also come here with questions and concerns. I would say that a sloppy build job qualifies as such. SolidState as has already been said, you should call Axiom. They are a great company to work with and will work with you if the sound of your speakers is at all affected by the build quality.

I'd like to think the inside of a good speaker was as clean and refined as the outside - but that's unlikely. If it sounds good, it makes no difference what the inside looks like. Now tying sound problems to gaps and glue is whole different story. But my guess is much like many old musical instruments, those glue spots and rough edges don't degrade the music.
Before you ask Axiom to replace the speakers you should disassemble the driver and see if any glue is on the spider or voice coil. Then I'd saw the cabinets in half to make sure they used a solid MDF and not some cheap MDG. Once that is done, and the amp is in parts, call Axiom and demand your money back. I'm interested to just how good their customer service is.

?? Have you been here long? This is so the place to rant and rave. Folks on this forum, especially owners of axiom products have been raving about said products for a very long time here. Some also come here with questions and concerns. I would say that a sloppy build job qualifies as such. I practically invented the internet so yeah i know how a forum works. I believe that its not always what you say, but how you say it,and the first few posts made by solid state were far from cordial. He is entitled to his opinion as am i, but taking such a tone is not goin to gain any sympathy. Had solidstate come here asking for help or information rather than having the adult version of a hissy fit he would have had a better experience. I am not alone in feeling his attack. On another note, could it not be possible that what happened to his cabinet is a result of climate . My uncle made burl tables on the wet coast, and he sent one to a relative in saskatchewan and the damn thing exploded. And really the whole glue thing is just stupid. And lastly solidstate himself says in a post that the ninja is out of line ,so why post in this thread and not make his own thread relevant to his problem. Ok i gotta go take my meds , peace out

All I will say is none of my many Axiom speakers I've purchased through the years look like that, seems there is more to the story.

all i can say to ninja is that we all have 30 days to basically try our speakers inside out. if you still like them after 30 days they are yours to keep. if you don't then you return them. that puts all of the math to sleep. by testing a product (m80ti) that is no longer made makes no sense. please send me your first crossover and i am sure that i will find issues. I am sure that you probably fixed it. now as for the tweeter issue, there is none. I have tried at least 5 different companies before settling on axiom. its all about the sound. the axiom were the best for my money.
PS do you give 30 days to try your stuff?
