    Want to Open Mission MX Speaker

    Thank you for your response guys. Everytime I purchase new speakers, I always open the unit to add foam inside them. I openned Wharfedale Diamond 9 & 10 series, also the Mission M3 series. These speakers were not assembled with foam inside them, therefore they sound a bit hard in bass. They...
