Will Axiom M60s work?

[Brian_the_King]

those are just quick disconnect terminals on the speakers. You just pull them straight off. You'll probably need some needle nose pliers and rock them side to side a bit while you pull them off
...
You want to pull on the part that has the clear plastic cover.

Sounds good, thanks. Didn't want to just yank on them and break them off if I would have had to solder them back on

...Also, That is not the crossover...

I know I know, but I mean those wires are connected to the xover on the inside there.

Brian the King - I got into stereo's at your age, working construction to buy my first stereo, buying from ads out of the back of Stereo review. I'm 42 now, and was paralysed in the Army. I just want to let you know that I'm proud of you for doing it yourself.

And on the low end, Dr. Hsu from Hsu Research has designed three subwoofers kits that Parts Express will be selling soon. Buy the kits, put your subs together yourself (simple hand tools), and you'll not only have a kick a$s system, you can brag about it too.

Once again, Good Job!

I don't think those are kits, but I could be wrong...

Hey, thanks

Yea while I'm messing with my speakers, I may as well build the subwoofers too, right? Not a bad idea.. but I did find my subwoofer on ebay; that may be the easiest [and definitely the least expensive] way to go about things.

Thank's for the correction. No. 5. The Dayton Hsu 12 is nicely priced at $389.75

wmax, I thought I would take apart one of the speakers before deciding which level of modification to do [leaning toward 1], but I ran into a problem; It seems to me that the drivers are soldered to the xover. This is only really a 'problem' because I do not trust my soldering skills

Is there another way to remove the drivers/xover? Or should I get practicing with the old soldering iron?

Haoleb is correct about how to remove them.

One more suggestion/caution when you try to pull those connectors off.

Your picture is great. I see that the top connector shows a dimple on that plug, the 2nd one from the open end, similar to car quick disconnects so the vibration will not disconnect it over time.
You will encounter resistance when you pull on it and may pull off the male blade from that small board, so be very careful. You may need to pull back that clear insulation jacket and carefully need to lift that tab a bit. Otherwise it will be a bear to just pull.
Unfortunately the other one is upside down.

I hope to replace my Infinitys with a pair of Axiom Audio M60 V2s. Lend me your thoughts.

Axiom M60: 37Hz-22kHz +/-3dB (27Hz @ -9dB) = $990/pr
DefTech BP10B: 25Hz-20kHz +/-3dB (20Hz @ -6dB) = $900/pr

Julian Hirsch of Stereo Review Labs said that the BP10B's 30 degree off axis was very similar to the on-axis.

Those FR specifications do not have much meaning as lone information.
