Just got the KPA. Im a new convert from the Fractal dimension and im happy to be here its night and day. Its like Fractal is the matrix and KPA is the alive world. I sound alive now. The cab maker says it converts Ir cabs to the Kemper but I cant find the location of the cabs I converted and how do you know what cab your using abnyway.?

Welcome and congrats!
Haven't played with the cab maker myself, but I'll offer some different advice
If I understand correctly, IRs are a big part of the AXE-FX sound. On the other hand, it is generally the concensus (with some exceptions) here that the cabs captured during the profiling process is superior to simple IRs (even hi-resolution ones).
The vast majority of profiles have their own cabs, which have been mic'ed up in a way to ensure the tone of the amp, the cab and the mic choice+position is the best combination for that sound (depending on the skill level of the person making the profile in the first place).
As such, there's not much reason to immediately seek out "third party" IRs (although I guess maybe you already have a collection of those, and some favourites among them - maybe that's why you ask).
You can find out what cab you're using by press-holding the "cab" button at the top of the unit. The name should be there.
Once there, you can turn the "browse" knob to the upper right of the display to select different cabs.Finally, if you want, you can get a free pack of cabinet profiles made by @tylerhb here:

Click the "Till's cab pack 2012". There is also a paid pack there.
These are not IRs, but actual profiled cabs (taken from full kemper profiles he has done). -
the cabmaker prog asks you for a destination folder before it converts the wavfile to .kipr -file(I just tried it myself)...personally I was very disappointed by the ir I converted from ownhammer and redwirez...flat and lifeless compared to the original kempercabs I normally use..like till's cabs for example
edit: Oh and welcome

a very helpful community indeed..and usually very fast

Hi and welcome - one more tip - just hold cab button and use a browse knob( with soft2 button you can select cabs from rigs and soft1 from presets) to select cab from other profiles or imported *.kipr cabs.

Welcome, Justice!
Great to hear your switching-camps thoughts. Please feel more than free to expound on the experience as you go; I for one love to read this stuff.

Welcome!

I know this is it a old thread but is there anyway to get the factory stock cabinets back? Somehow I deleted them
It's terrible getting old

You can reload the Factory Rigs, which include the cabinets obviously, in one fell swoop from the System menu, SQUAREHEAD.
