We present Chandra ACIS spectra of the hot diffuse component from observations of face-on spiral galaxies. Emission from point sources has been removed prior to extraction of the spectra. Corrections to the spectra are made for the time-dependent gain and the increasing absorption on the ACIS window. The source+background spectra were fit with MeKaL models for the source with a separate model describing the background. We report on the diffuse luminosity as a function of galaxy luminosity as well as other galaxy properties.
