Alesis M1 MKII Woofer Replacement

This is how you replace the woofers on the Alesis M1 MKII Monitors.
Buy the replacement woofer from Thomanns and DO IT YOURSELF! Alesis charge you silly money for a 10 minute easy job.

Thanks munkybarf!!

You helped me save $100 in labour. I bought a pair of replacements from Electric Factory(in Melb, AU)

I only replaced 1 and there is a subtle difference in the sound(new woofer V old woofer). A little run-in time and they should match again. I didnt feel it was crucial enough to replace both at the same time.

BTW, that is a sweet soundtrack:-)

thanks munky! this vid gave me the confidence to open up my own speaker. it was so easy! let's see how the new woofer sounds....

[Birdmanzzz]

one of my M1 speakers has got a really crunchy / farty sound - it sounds awful now.  Assume that this is a broken woofer?

hello. thanks for the vid. what glue did you use to reattach the rubber bezel?

[nahmayte]

do you have a link to where you can buy the replacement driver online?

[rambaslough]

is it really necessary to take the back off and amp out? is there enough slack on the + &- connections to do it all through the front?

@snolan1990

that works but its not ideal.

ideally you would need a outboard soundcard (usb for example) or a pci soundcard. The L > R outputs then go into each speaker respectively.

whats the sample used in the song??? i love it!

[lokylok204]

mad track!! :)

So cool of you to post. I agree, it is ridiculously easy to open it up and put back together. I would like to change it to a SEAS or Scan-Speak driver. Did you try any other drivers before choosing the original?
