Do you offer anything for a Lexus es300 ?

The magnet split all the way around my fi-q , is there anything that can be done to save this sub ? This wouldn't be covered under warranty would it ?

Darn that's what I figured . But thanks for the answer nick .

Just figured I would check . thanks .

I know that you don't sell ib3 8" subs . But could you and at what cost ? Looking for one for the rear deck on my Lexus .

I don't know anything that will really stick ferrous magnets my self either . But I figured if anyone knew it would be nick or the guys from FI . I won't need it to last forever just until my new sub gets ordered and arrives . Now that I need to replace it it would be fun to thow some real power at it . My coils are like new , I never even got them warm yet.I would love to see what it takes to bottom one out or burn coils . I bet it takes a lot . I would clamp test it while I do it . the most that I have run on it yet is 500 watts and that was very impressive . and more than enough for daily listening . I o-scope and clamp all my setups , it does not take all that most think to get loud . even with my btl the difference between 1000 watts and over 3000 watts is not that much . especially for daily listening . its mostly bragging rights . And to get those extra high watt readings you need the right box most boxes have so much impedance rise that they will never get there . so for the folks worried about forcing 1700 watts out of a 1500 watt amp yes it will do it but it is not worth it you will not hear it and neither will your friends . your not a db meter you have ears . worry about a great box . This not aimed at you lithium I know you already know this .

Thank for the offer nick . and that shows what kind of company FI is . I didn't think that this would be warranty but figured I would ask . I think that I have already got my money's worth out of this sub . And will just order another to replace this one . Is there anything that could glue this magnet together for while I wait for my new one or is that not feasible ?

Trust me I was shocked to see that also . when I took it out of the box I was expecting that something had come unglued on the cone . never would have guessed a cracked magnet .. This sub was never beat and had support for the motor in the box . Now my btl got beat ruthlessly and I have had it just as long . but never did have a problem . I have lots of spare parts for my btl expecting to need them while competing . never did and I doubt that I ever will . I love my Fi subs , and don't want anyone to think that I'm trying to put them down . they are top quality . and have treated me very well. And I can't say enough good thing about the fi-q . it has sound that is unbelievable . I've missed it badly for weeks now .

I purchased it years ago . when the q was still vented pole . I think just before they changed to non vented pole . I could be wrong but it was probably 4-5 years ago

Why is that hard to believe ? I can try to post pics if people need to believe . I'm not some kid fooling around with gear . I'm old , and know how to build run and handle my equipment. And have never damaged or blown any of my gear . I have different enclosures for each sub so have no reason to ever take them out . I only took my q out because I heard the difference in sound right away . This sub still functions because I stopped right away . and no I wasn't pounding on it either . it was actually playing on very low levels when it happened .

Nope never dropped . has been in the same box since new . It is a shame , this sub has been taken easy on since new . I have a btl for when I need to pound . and I have rebuild stuff for my btl and never needed it even while competing but not for my q . go figure . Well still a fi fan any ways . I'm good at getting the one in a million problems .

the box and batts should slow you down more than the extra alt. if you were to go dual ho-alt , you could get away with less batts to weigh you down. still going to need extra batt power but not as much. good luck, thats going to be loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why not just port 1 x 12"bl should go well with your amp ,sound good and be loud.

the q is loud even if it wasn't built to be and yes it sounds unbelievable .

sounds like your shaking your car with a sq speaker. good job. congrats on your 138db i also have a 15"q that i run sealed or ported, and love it.

make sure that amp is not puting out dc to the subs. <you did say that you have low volted them several times> and get that amp put on an o-scope to see at what gain setting you realy clip at .<half gain is not half power> and you realy need a ho-alt before you go any farther. <believe it or not it will save your subs and amps>

wow...... thats above and beond cust satisfaction. this does not sound like the fault of the sub on so many levels .

you might find that 1 btl is pretty ***** loud .

147.9 termlab sealed on dash 1x 15" btl 2x saz1500d 3.65cuft , 37hz 85sqinch L-port , sub up port back, quickie box no 45s, no kerfport , no sanding and no finishing work. ford explorer daily driver this was droped in late the nite before the show with glue still drying, way to late to do any tuning or testing. and i have zero experience with spl comps, never even been to one before. have never been on a spl meter before. and had never seen or heard the cd i had to use. just went out there and did what i could. you should just go to a show and enter , see what you get for numbers. then you can have a base line to improve from. come back and let us know what you get for numbers. good luck and have fun doing it.

really it was the btl that got that score for me. the box it was in was tuned wrong, had no 45's, minimal sanding and the glue was still drying. i had no test time and had to use a cd i have never heard before, purchased 5 min before my run. so that was all FI BTL................ thanks fi

well i made it to my first show may 16 . < tnespl , rockyhill ct. > i came setup to play music, but ended up in woofer cooker class. so i did what i could with what i had setup. i had 1x btl 15 2x saz1500d ford explorer I got a 147.9 <still had some left> i am verrrrrrrry happy for my first try. now knowing what class i'm in i will build a fart box and do better. most important to me is that my kids wanted to compete and thats why i put this together. they had a great time, and want to do it again. thanks for the great deal on the recones. i was the only one with FI subs at this show, sparked a little interest after i ran.

thanks, they put ear plugs on and helped hold my back window/door closed.

thanks, and that was what it was all about , having fun with the kids. the wife even had fun. im glad that i got a competitive score first try, i told the kids to hope for about a 135. boy were we suprised with a 147.9. being a total noob to spl --- what is the average score for 1x 15" in an suv - daily driver ?

thanks, I really did have fun even though im more of a fi q kind of guy.

thanks
