Hi Boomboxery 
Pardon for not introducing myself in the board first too lazy cuz my connection is being laggy
but I guess this is the first published attempt of modding/upgrading the monstrous SHARP GX-M10. If you haven't heard of it, check it out on the review&comparison started by TMR https://boomboxery.com/forum/index.php/topic/18277-the-great-bassoff-the-definitive-bass-boombox-review/?hl=%2Bsharp+%2Bm10
The GX is a GREAT bass machine, through two active bass drivers, its performance can only be matched by the good old Kaboom. However im the quality of other frequencies (mid&high) on the GX is quite uninspiring. This is the what we get when the box handles mid&highs only by one driver.
So im coming up with similar mod to previous Kabooms, such as Superduper's "Racoon Kaboom" on other forum (google them they're awesome mod btw) which adds a pair of tweeters to enhance high frequencies (or usually termed retrofitting)
The result was satisfying (that would include modders' placebo), but the highs are actually THERE. My only complaint would be the tweeters I bought were cheap models
Here are the steps I'll be explaining by photos :
First : Open all the screws on the back&sides of the GX, all of them. By any chance your GX is taped together by double-sided tapes, its okay to slowly force them to open (Careful!! do it very gently, the cables inside the GX is great pain to deal with)
These are 4 items you need to open first before opening the body (iPod not included)
Another pic:
Be careful with this flex connection and the cable that connects to USB interface on the front
These are my tweeter bought from a local audio shop. It already includes a crossover inside the construction (a simple capacitor wired in series, or usually called 1st order highpass crossover) so don't ask me numbers
Simply wired in parallel to the front drivers ( the black thingie blocking the front driver )
This is my method of mounting the tweeter, you can place them inside or outside.
Done!
putting them back
Any comments and/or suggestions would be very nice
Best regards
