Cracked basket, fixable?

[Rashadddd 10+ year member]

sorry for blurry phone pic...but its a crack that goes all the way through that part, and rattles pretty bad when it's playing at high volumes, I can't move it with my hands because of how tight it is still, but apparently the resonance is enough to get it moving

what should I do about it? It's an RE SX 15 btw

take it to a fabricator. its a quick easy fix. less than an hour's labor so you wont get pooned too much on price

I can't see the pic, but I'd try JB weld or find a welder. Do those have painted baskets? I've never used JB weld before, but you might have to sand the basket to metal...idk just something to check on.

JB Weld will work for a quick fix. Might look ugly but is cheaper than a whole new recone

do not get that 1 minute epoxy. it is not worth it. it doesnt hold well at all.
