Broken basket, how should I repair?

[C_russell]

I recently was gifted a Sundown E15-D4, but it has a broken basket/frame. The connection isn't entirely severed, but its enough to distort the sound. Although perfectly functional when mounted upside down, I would really like to repair this and get it in a box correctly. Any advice on what to use to do this? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

How the hell is a round file going to help join two pieces of metal?

File it really fast, so the heat from friction welds the metal together. Duh

Never heard that before..

A round file is an actual tool //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I aware of the tool round file being a journeyman machinist. If youre really 17 I'm sure there are a lot of terms/sayings you have yet to here.

That would be a confusing term to use in the shop then.

If someone needed something filed down and you threw it away, that may be a problem

its generally accepted that the context is understood

If someone handed you a rusty circular object and asked you to round file it for them, what would you do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

(besides ask what they meant)

New basket recone

New basket and recone for a Sundown E series? Haha

I personally don't think that would be worth it.

Best option is JB weld, imo.

Someone get mad at this sub for not being loud enough and throw it or what .. I'm having a real hard time understanding how this could happen....

New basket and cone are outta the question...

I'd use the best epoxy you can find, something that takes 24hours to set so it sets much harder, add a little extra hardner to the resin when you mix it as well. A good epoxy job should hold that together extremely well
