Mirage M1Si

I own a pair of Mirage M1Si's and am interested to hear from anyone who has modified this speaker at all. I read a quick blurb about a guy who changed IC's and interior wiring on a pair of M3Si's but he did not go into detail about how he opened his speaker (it's a vault), which is similar to my M1's. I read an article a long time ago about Gary Reber of Widescreen Review, who hot wired all his M1Si's. I sent an email to the guy and heard nothing in return. I think I have a blown voice coil in my left rear speaker's mid-range. When I took the speaker out, it looked low quality and the wire inside was thin and cheap looking. It has a "Linkwytz Reilly" crossover that I could barely see but have no idea if its IC's are chintzy or not. It looks like a formidable challenge to go into the speaker like this and soup it up but the temptation exists for the likelihood to achieve superior sound without buying another expensive speaker. Also the bottom end is a bit mushy, or soft, even though it is run by my powerful Levinson 336 which sounds punchy on other speakers. After seeing the crappy midrange speaker, I keep thinking the woofer is to blame. Any help is appreciated for hot rodding this great overall sounding speaker.
