top plate came misaligned too. idk what this speakers life was before me.. but it was rough. any suggestions on glue to use to fill in the crack/try and secure the ferritePics? Probably the magnetic field is more or less unchanged but that sort of failure would have me believe it's probably going to become unusable sooner or later.
I'd have to agree. You can get a comparable motor used and functional for 50$ price range. I don't see any point in risking losing fingers trying to mess with those big magnets on that tier sub and I wonder if this is even worth the 100$ or so you'll drop on softparts even if you can get the motor realigned.The only time and effort I would put into that is throwing it in the dumpster. Its not worth it to try to glue the slugs and pay for a recone.
