jb weld... will look ugly but might work unless there are little magnet shards in the gap now

it works perfectly fine just like sometimes from well i guess the vibration or something well the one half of the magnet will slid to one side a little and just enough to make the sub feel liek its locked up then all i have to do is get a rubber mallet and tap it back in place

Not good, I dont think this is fixable (I may be wrong). Ticking timebomb..

Did you buy it new?

 

[Andrew2006 10+ year member]

no i bought it off Pickler off here and now to come to find out where the magnet had shifted over a lil it messed the voice coil up so now i just threw 240 down the drain

yuppers, not good situation, sorry to hear.

How do you crack a magnet on those beasts? Unless it's a manufacturing defect (could happen) you'd have to bounce it on concrete.

Send it back to FI for a factory rebuild. Not cheap, but at least it wouldn't be a total waste.
