Hi Grexx,
I've had several posts in the past discussing the use of ohm resistors and why I felt they were required. Yes, Axioms can be bright.
They are easier to install then your mod, does'nt require sautering, simply remove tweeter lead connections and attach resistor between tweeter connect and lead wires.
I've enjoyed my M80's and M22's for the last 2 years with 1.8 ohm resistors installed.
BTW anyone possesing one too many Q8's, looking to spread holiday cheer by parting with it for a reasonable compensation?
