Simple 12" Infinity Kappa VQ MidQ Plans

[armstrr]

are the pole inserts labeled? i am looking for a couple of gently used 12vq drivers and some of the time the sellers don't know what the mid q insert looks like, and if both inserts are not present saying something like "it is the smaller of the two inserts" doesn't help. thanks!!

Yep, looks like a sweet deal for the EP2500 from the prices I have seen elsewhere. Thanks.

Yes, on the back of the insert it says which is which as you can see in this pic.

thanks brandon. and for anyone else considering a used vq driver. i called infinity and they do not have inserts for sale. so if you buy a used one without the correct insert...you're s.o.l.

Wow good deal on the amp and DCX.....enjoy them..

other than parts express, are there any other places online to search for binding posts/plates for the subs? nothing fancy is needed, they will never be seen.

i saw these, but they seem kinda pricey to me

or maybe i'll just get some of these:

YIKES!!

Parts Express has pretty much the same thing as everybody else as far as binding posts go. They might not be seen but you also get what you pay for. the cheap plastic ones dont like to be tightened down much and also seems many of them have small holes through the post. The ones I used from parts express for my subs are pretty nice but they are about 28 bucks per speaker.

Just dont get any of those awful spring clip terminals.

I'm definitely wanting to go this route. I think of all the upgrades I could make getting a sweet sub would be the longest lasting.

That being said I don't have the space or tools to build the cabinet(I live in an apartment) I plan on asking a local cabinet maker. Any suggestions on what to ask what price to pay and so forth. I can glue the insulation myself and do any wiring.

I was thinking of taking it in steps.

I'm thinking of using the following. The DCX is just for the subs correct? For the amp and the EQ.
Behringer EP2500

BEHRINGER DCX2496.

I would love for mine to look a lot like Hab's those subs are just amazingly beautiful.

The word livingroom is higly overrated. I prefer to think of mine as a building room/audio cave. Of course, its a little cramped for my 10" table saw, so I stash that in the bedroom.
