Hey you guys,
VERY funny, now where's the "rim shot" icon on these new boards?

As long as you are disconnecting..........try this for me:
Disconnect 1 tweeter, and 1 mid-range....you now have a M60.
Next, see if the "M60" configuration in the M80 cabinet, has more bass, than a "stock" M60. Sure. Send me your M60s for a frame of reference.

I would think by disconnecting one of the tweeters you would also be changing the characterstics of the crossover circuitry's effect on the sound.
Then again, I may be talking out of my ass again.

The spec sheets for the two have different x-over points, so I suspect they would sound different.

Hi Brandon,
I thought about the same thing before I disconnected the tweeter. I was thinking of ways that I could muffle the tweeter and then I just decided to go ahead and disconnect it. I was worried about damaging my amp or the cross-over itself (not good to drive an unloaded cross-over). Perhaps the tweeter is predominantly mechanically crossed over or each tweeter has its own cross-over. These are guesses...I really don't know.

You have mentioned that the M80s with the grilles on are not as forward, could you try the grilles just covering the tweeters, tweeters and mids, to see if it changes anything?
