For those looking for that great Axiom sound in a space saving package, the W3's offer just that. According to Axiom Audio, these speakers performance is compatible to their M3v2 bookshelf boxed speaker counterpart. What differentiates the W3's from other inwall speakers is that they come equipped with their own back boxes and can be installed into existing walls by simply cutting out a piece of drywall the size of their provided template and using their proprietary locking system to fasten it to the wall.  The end result is you have a speaker system in a small footprint that wont protrude past your wall mounted display or require bulky stands to rest on.  You can even order yours in a custom wood veneer finish to match your room décor for the ultimate Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF).

In this instructional video, I detail a step by step procedure with Axiom Audio Resident Expert Alan Lofft on how to install these new hybrid Inwall/Onwall W3 speakers into a wall and show how easy it is to accomplish this type of project in your own home. This instructional video takes you through the process, documenting the procedure and the proper tools needed to get the job done.
