Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions m60 in cabinet have 4 ohm stickers ?

just got a beautiful pair of in-cabinet speakers, m60. I was surprised to see that they were finished all the way around! The front flange is in the black woodgrain, the rest is a nice slightly textured vinyl. I could use them as floor standers if I ever drop the "cabinet".

Interestingly, stickers on the box, and the enclosures themselves both say 4 ohms. Anyone have any ideas why?

They are letting themselves be driven very easily on the warm up I'm presently enjoying.

Hmmmmmmm, I would think that it is a misprinted sticker, it has happened in the past, but you never know, Ian could have redeisgned them to be 4 ohm and the web site is incorrect. Just to douible check the sticker also says 60 on it too and you have only one tweeter and midrange. the specs page also has some different wording on it:

X-Over 200 Hz & 2 kHz
Tweeter: Single 1"
Woofer: Single 5.25"
Sub Woofer: Dual 6.5"


Since when does the M60 have a subwoofer?

Oh! Congrats on the new speakers!!

no - unfortionatly they didn't send me m80's by mistake! they have the driver config of the m60's.

We haven't heard anything in the Council about the M60s going 4 ohm, but that's about all I can say.

That's all you CAN say, that's all you WILL say or that all you KNOW? Huh? WHICH IS IT?

(Prodding of "The Man" starts....)

That's all I know about the M60s.

I would call the 800 number and talk to one of the techs. As Ken mentioned, this is new news to us.

I'm not worried - my amp can drive it either way - and it's sounding great.

I can't wait to get it in the wall - where its cross-over's were designed for it to be situated.

There is supposedly a mysterious 4 ohm VP150 lurking around the woods as well.

It's my VP150 which is 8 Ohms instead of 6.

Or so it says.

Ahh, that's it. I knew it was some kind of mutation or other

My M80s are 8 ohm for most of ts range, or so I have read

ha ha, now Rick that is now what the graph shows.

Hi axiomoholic and all,

I just got the word from on high. Your in-cabinet M60s are 8 ohms. There are no changes in the impedance ratings, so ignore or peel off the 4-ohm stickers.

There was an error at the station in the plant where the stickers are applied, and we regret the error. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Would you like us to mail you new 8-ohm stickers? You could apply them on top of the 4-ohm stickers.

Glad you're enjoying the new in-cabinet M60s.

Regards,

Alan

Sounds like someone was having some Molson on the job.

More'n likely Muskoka Brewery up around Huntsville

4 Ohm M60s?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

OOOOOOOOh!! Free stickers. I want some free stickers...

Free stickers for all!

Alan

Don't send them by courriers or we'll get double stickers, half will say "8 O" and the other "hms" with a suspicious jagged line between the two... Unless you double-envelope them...

I want what Biigwwyres has for a bumpter sticker on his big vinyl rig.

Looks like a DIY project to me!

I'd leave the rare one of a kind 4ohm stickered M60s as is ... those things will be worth a ton of money one day.

But that's just me.

Or worth less.
