there could be a high resistance connection between the air conditioner and the outlet, this will cause the local connection to over heat... or the wiring in the wall could be an inadequate size. how many watt air conditioner are we talking??
if anything you could always cut the plug off and get another one and put that on the wire. if it is only the plug on the air conditioner that gets hot i would cut it off and replace it.

Good point. I'll replace the plug the next time I get a chance.

I don't understand how a center channel speaker could be an underwater air conditioner.
You guys make no sense.

Ok now that everyone here has received their IB (internet bachelors) degree in electricity, back to the VP160.
I was imagining the VP150 with two 6 1/2 inch drivers to replace the 150's 4 1/4 drivers, set in a cabinet the size of the M60 & ported. However I don't know that this center would be ..
A. different enough from the VP150 (same total number of drivers). And...
B. similar enough to the M60, as it would have an extra tweeter.
The design would be 'tweeter/6 1/2 driver/4 1/4 driver/6 1/2 driver/tweeter'. ButI don't know if the timbre match would work or not with the extra tweeter? The other model discussed with the tweeter over the 4 1/4 inch driver would pretty much be the only other possibility I can think of that would work. And the different shape would indeed give people more options for space limitations.

sorry it took me a minute to post, so now that its the receptacle that is overheating. you could try to put the air conditioner in another room and run it for a little bit, see if that receptacle heats up. if it does then that is a good indication that your air conditioner is drawing more power than the wire in the house was designed for. do you know what size of wiring is in the house? did you notice when you replaced the receptacle? 12 gauge is rated for 23 amps. you will need to see what the rating on the air conditioner is..
depending on the age of the apt she's in, it might not have an adequate electrical system.

No. I replaced the receptacle. It's the plug that's overheating.

Aperion's 6C has the configuration I'm looking for. However, it measures 8.5"H x 25"W x 11"D and I'd like to see it a bit narrower but deeper to accommodate placement on an equipment rack. I still think there's no compelling reason to put this into an M60 cabinet; MUCH too close to the existing VP180 in form factor. Whatever Axiom decides to do will be based on testing regardless of configuration. I do kind of like dakkon's observation about simply making a VP100-config (MTM) but with the larger midwoofers.

How much narrower are you thinking Tom? If the drivers get to close together it can cause problems.

<pedant> I fail to see what is so special about 7" drivers...
And the mids Axiom uses across the board (other than ABs and QS4s) are 5.25", not 4 1/4".

</pedant> dammit, it won't turn off...
