Also a lot of reason my other dealer was against the M3 was also just because of how frustrating it is to install and deal with a 300+ lb speaker. The M3 is not a super massive speaker so I feel it...

Would the M3 work in my room of 12 x 16 x 8 ft or would it be too much ? Keeping in mind I love bass and have 2x 18 inch subs in my room :)

So that internal metal framework/grid is also in the M2?
Apparently the carbon fiber is made by Apex composites in Canada who do carbon fiber for F1 race cars. -
