    My Infinity Kappa Build

    @weng I would assume you'd have no problem at all powering those subs with the 1600, I have mine set to about 3/4 gain, and never turn my receiver past 3/4 volume, and there's still lots of power to go. I'm afraid I'l smoke my subs if I crank it any higher on a movie with some nice LFE. To...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    Ok that makes sense to me. Like I said, I'm quite new to this. But from what I understand, the high pass filter will likely extend the life of my drivers? Is it considered a "must-have" though? Funds are quite limited right now, but I also don't want to blow my subs! Haha. I also thought the...

    Sorry for the bump. Also, new pictures. Both subs are finished. I'm debating on whether to make covers for them or not, as I kind of like the look without them!

    So I've got one box finished, gonna start staining the 2nd one tomorrow, then all that's left to do is build the front covers and enjoy them. The picture doesn't do the finish on this justice, I'm extremely happy with the way the finish turned out!

    Anyone use the Logitech remote

    The Harmony 900, or One are both nice, albiet fairly expensive remotes.. For the equipment you have I'd suggest taking a look at the Harmony 650. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the other two. But I'm using it right now for my setup and it works perfectly... Currently I have it set...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    Ok, so I'm not too sure about the different eq's and the minidsp, but for the mean time (just running my subs and their amp) I'm assuming I leave my sub amp set to "subwoofer" (or low-pass mode), since, high-pass cancels out any bass, and full-range sounds the same as low-pass but I'd imagine...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    No filter other than the one built into the amp. I've got it switched to subwoofer mode (low-pass) it also has full range and high pass settings on it. After some playing around, it's not missing any sound anymore, not sure what that was all about. Do u think an EQ would be advisable for my...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    So I've got one box sanded/trimmed. Gonna start the 2nd one soon and then it's on to stain and finally start building the front covers. I've also finished my A/V cabinet for the amp, etc. got the glass mounted and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    So I've got both subs hooked up now, for now I need to have them both placed on the back wall, about 12-14 feet apart due to the layout of the room. But I'm really impressed! Watching the depth-charge scene in U-571 with my volume at 45/70 was intense. At it's peak my chandelier was shaking and...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    In case anyone's wondering about the amp, I'm very pleased so far with the IPR-1600. And at $249 on sale and only 7lbs, compared to the other amps with similar power, I'm very happy with it. For my setup I can get 900watts RMS x 2 channels with it. Since the drivers are rated for 400watts...

    I almost forgot... More clamps! Can't wait to hook up the 2nd one tomorrow! After some play time with them, it's on to staining/finishing.

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    What's the learning curve using REW? I've got the software already but I don't have a mic yet. Also, a couple other questions: Since its coming from the sub output on my receiver, should I still have my amp filter switched to "subwoofer"? It also has high-pass and full range modes. It seems...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    So I've got one speaker hooked up now. It sounds great! Going to finish the 2nd one in a couple hours. To anyone who would be interested/has the know-how, I'd like some help with placement of the speakers to get the best sound out of them. I could make up a diagram of the room they're in if...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    So I finished putting together one of the boxes last night, and unfortunately couldn't finish the 2nd one as I ran out of long clamps to hold the top on the 2nd box... But they're both coming along nicely. I'm hoping to get the top on the 2nd box today and hopefully some of the finishing touches...

    A/V program or software

    I just got the DVE bluray last week, and although it's a lot to comprehend at first, I have to say I'm amazed at the results. Everyone always commented on how much they loved the picture quality on my tv, and since calibrating it (about 3 hours to get it dialed in), I can honestly say the...

    Thanks for the tips guys, I wrapped the roxul in cloth after I took the picture. And as for the tee nuts, I'll see what I can do tonight as I'm hoping to finish the boxes later tonight.

    Unfortunately, the company I ordered my plugs from didn't have the mount I was looking for, so I'll just have to make the one's I've got work... I'm sure it won't be as stable as the cabinet mount, but with a couple of screws and some silicone, I can't see it going anywhere

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    I'm starting to come close to finishing these boxes, only a few things left to do until I'll be ready to start staining them.. Basically all that's left is, Wrap the Roxul in some cloth, attach the front, and top, along with a bit of caulking, and edge tape, then bolt in the drivers! I'm...

    My Infinity Kappa Build

    So I finally got some time to start my sub cabinets yesterday. So far I've got everything cut out and the port and braces built for both cabinets. I'm going to try to finish the cabinets tonight, and hopefully stain them tomorrow. I decided to change my original design, and opted out of mitering...
