DIY High pass filters for Vandersteen Model 5A Carbon's?

Hey OP!

I'll talk to you over in DIYAudio then. It will hopefully be a firehose of information and many there with more experience than me in speaker building and electronics.

Best,

E

Apparently I had an account already. Same username as this one; do you suppose I should make a thread?

OP, if I was you, I would immediately get in touch with Richard Vandersteen himself.  You can call Vandersteen and ask to speak with him if he doesn't answer.  Tell him your story, age and that you want to learn. I can PROMISE you that he will help you in any way he can. he will spend time to also teach you and may even give you some brands to look at using.  I doubt that he will give you the dimensions of the cabinet and how it's supposed to be put together, but you never know.

I think he's getting back this week, so give it a try.  None of us will be able to give you the info that he will.  Let us know.

Thought: Search for one just in case, but yes, just go ahead and start a new one. 

I own Vandersteen model 5s.  I built my own HP filters.  I have a pair of them with RCA connections.  The pigtails are not the AQ battery wire but they sound the same.  If you want to purchase them I would sell mine and let you try them out.  If they do not work for the 5Cs then send them back and I will refund the money less the shipping costs.  PM me if you want.
