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.
DIY High pass filters for Vandersteen Model 5A Carbon's?
Hey folks! I've just received a pair of Model 5A Carbon's without the high pass filters. These speakers didn't come with bass cabs, so I paid under 2 grand for everything. With that in mind, paying half of that for a pair of high pass filters to me would be quite the investment. I've read online that filters such as these can be built, but I am struggling to find instruction on how to achieve such. There seems to be a decent amount of discussion on Vandie filters here, so I thought I'd ask how to make the filters I've read about.
