Alright. Ill just ebay it and purchase the vq. Going to take me a few weeks to complete it.
To my knowledge, the Kicker product is not very linear. It is pretty much a SPL producer and not well suited to hi-fi applications such as this. If it's just for home theater use and not music, I imagine the L7 would be fine. Also, if you keep the volume level relatively low in music use, it would sound fine, as you could keep the motor within it's linear stroke, which I presume is very short.anybody try building a kicker L7 square set up i would love to see that.
I also agree with this assessment. The linear range on that device is assummed to be minimal doe to nothing speacial in terms of motor design.To my knowledge, the Kicker product is not very linear.

All of the cuts are here http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?p=429925#post429925Has anyone taken the time to draw up the cut list on a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood? If so would you mind sharing? I haven't sat down to figure out if I need to buy one or two sheets for one sub.

Right, but how those cuts line up on a 4 x 8 sheet is what I'm talking about.All of the cuts are here http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?p=429925#post429925
Thanks for the link. I'll post something if it works.http://www.delphiforfun.org/Programs/CutList.htm
let us know how it works!
i wonder if google sketchup would do this as well?
alternatively, i'm sure it would be fairly easy to get by with one sheet and make the braces found on the 2nd sheet out of scrap hardwood like the OP did with oak.The program worked well, I've attached the layout mainly to show that you need more than one 4x8 sheet of wood to make this build.

I totally agree. No since in buying a 2nd piece of birch, just to use 15% of it. Well, that is unless you plan on making more than one sub cabinet.alternatively, i'm sure it would be fairly easy to get by with one sheet and make the braces found on the 2nd sheet out of scrap hardwood like the OP did with oak.
i'm curious what the "right" price for a used driver like this would be including shipping?My (used) Kappa VQ arrived today. The UPS "shipping" weight is over 26 Lbs. in the original box. Since it was used, the Mid-Q pole piece had been previously installed - yet, the price was right.
I won't be building the proper cabinet until April or so - when things warm up a bit outside and in the garage. For the time being, I mounted the driver in a 2.75 cu. ft. cabinet that I had with (2) 4" x 16" ports and a 200 watt plate amplifier.
I ran though some quick calibrations to get the sub even with my mains. In a word ... SICK is the only thing that comes to mind. One should have a license to own this driver. Yup, it's that amazing. Now, I just have to line up a source for some good birch plywood for the spring.
If you have scrap hardwood lying around then sure, all I have lying around is MDF.alternatively, i'm sure it would be fairly easy to get by with one sheet and make the braces found on the 2nd sheet out of scrap hardwood like the OP did with oak.
