Here are the long awaited pics!
Step 1:

Step 4:
Step 5:
Step 6:
It's more involved than I thought, though still pretty simple. I'm guessing this modification chops off a few thousand kHz from the upper range of the frequency response, which would explain the extra warmth perceived after the felt is in place.

It would really be interesting for someone from Axiom (Alan?) to add a comment in this thread. Is this a sensible mod? What are you giving up if you do this? etc.?

looks to me that you are lowering or muting the tweeter's output. Someone should do an FR sweep with and without the mode.

I'd also like to hear from Axiom, it looks to me like you're throwing years of engineering out the window.

That looks pretty intrusive.
If I thought my M60s needed a mod. I would go with the example Sonicfox showed. It looks more simple and less intrusive.

I like the way my Axioms sound in their stock form,but IF I thought the tweeter needed to be tamed down I would go the resistor route.At least this way there is no warranty issues.

If you call Axiom and ask for Joe he will explain the resistors to ya.There is no charge for them and there will be no warranty issues.

Many people have, but I don't know how many people who have are around any more. Try doing a search for resistor and M80.
