Tighten topbox on Matrix 801?

[Joawen]

I just discovered that the boxes with mid/tweeter on my Matrix 801 series3 are loose, on my 802's it's possible to angle them in/out but they are really tight back/forward, up/down.

How are the boxes on top fastenend, is there a way to tighten up the thing holding the boxes so it moves less easily and not at all in a direction apart from left/right?

Would like to know that, too.
I heard it's different between the Matrix 801, series 3 and the series 2. [And I have both. ]

I thought there was a long screw in the top that you could tighten using a coin or large screwdriver. That should allow left / right rotation but more or less eliminate the up / down movement.

Ah yes: the series 2 have a long screw ...
The series 3 doesn't have it.

On my Matrix 802 Series 3 there is a bolt inside the main cabinet. Remove the bass driver on the 801 (or top bass driver for the 802) and you'll see where the mid range and tweeter wires go through to the top box. They go through a nut which will already be quite tight but if you screw it in a bit more then that should stiffen up the top box mounting. I don't know how strong the threads are though so be careful not to shear it off!
