I just opened up my m80's and was dissapointed at the 6.5" drivers they had a real small magnet and it said made in china
while the tweeters had a huge magnet? why is that? Not that this all matters that much but I thought they had good quality

Do you like the way they sound?
If so, then why does it matter?

a tiny magnet? are you sure you pulled the whole thing out?
it's rather heavy, though not massive. but in the end, it doesn't matter, because they sound absolutely amazing. in fact, one of my woofers has a minimal dent in them (i bought them used) but i can't tell the difference in sound.

they dont have a "small" magnet.
If you had seen a multitude of drivers before you might know what im talking about. And if you knew some things about driver design that are essential Besides magnet size.
The tweeters do not have enourmous magnets, theres sheilding in there too.
Although i thought Axiom made their own drivers,...
maybe the magnet is just made in china

This goes a long way towards explaining why I crave egg rolls every time I listen to a CD.

I'm curious, do you have a degree in electical engineering? Because it sure sounds like you know something the speaker designers don't.

the magnets and the amps on their subs are not Axiom made, the rest is (as far as I know)

Well, does ANYONE know for sure where the drivers are made?

I imagine the people at Axiom do.
And usually when something says "Made in X" on it, it's made in X.
What does it matter, anyway?
