[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8188407, member: 655960"] First of all and for future reference... never ship a sub mounted in a box... or a crate. Any shock the box or crate takes is transferred directly to the sub and obviously, can cause damage. So add that you your woes about the box... you still don't know ( I presume you haven't played it) whether or not the impact that broke the box did any damage to the sub. Subs should be shipped in the factory packaging (usually styrofoam or several layers of cardboard) or wrapped up in a couple of layers of bubble wrap so as to insulate them from shock. That said, the box would be easy to repair for anyone with reasonable fabrication skills. It needs a new ring cut and installed which as has been mentioned, would need to be cut half in two and then filled once the pieces are in place. Also, if cosmetics aren't a huge issue, you could cut a new ring and install it to the face of the box without having to go to the trouble of cutting and fitting two pieces inside the box. That would serve the same purpose as well as being quick. Of course, if the rest of the box is as poorly constructed as the baffle... it may not be worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
