broken terminal fixable?

This ruined my day. was showing my dad my subs Infinity Kappa perfect 12d vq and then one of the terminals broke.

ok ill get pictures of the actualy broken part tomarow. but my terminals screw open then you insert the wire through the hole thats drilled in the stud. well it broke off right wehre the hole is. so is there any audio shop that can fix this. i would hate to have to fix it by saudering a wire to it.. i want it done the right way. tomarow i will have pictures of the actual damage. also just a guess how much would somethin like this cost to fix.

it should be fixable cause i think that the terminal is bolted to the frame...there must be somewhere that'll fix it...and i doubt that its gonna be expensive...u'll just need to buy back a screw terminal

yup shouldnt be too hard to fix. for now you can just wrap wire around the terminal and then wrap tape around it.

that perfect is pretty beefy btw. didnt think they were THAT big

well since i burned my amp up they are just going to be sitting in my room so i wont have to worry about having it rigged with wrapping the wire around it till i get my new amp. but ill look more into what itll take to get it fixed tomarow. cause they are in my car now and im too lazy to walk out there tonight.

edit: i added some of my other pics to my gallery yeah they are pretty beefy. These are the best subs i ever owned. befor only subs i had was an EXTREMLY old kicker 15. still have pics some wheres. and an audiobahn 15" dvc was an ok sub but was nothing like these Infinities. so im new to the reall car audio stuff. all i need is a real amp and im thinkin a hifonics bx1000d should do me fine.
