What does the broken area look like? imo ok deal. I wouldn't have paid much more for it.

An hour before this post you didnt even know what it was. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif The motor alone is worth $120 to someone who knows what it is.
These models of XXX's were referred to as the **** cone models. Internally virtually identical to the 04-05 XXX motor. But yes, the back plate was not beveled, the later change in that mainly being for aesthetic reasons. Frankly, Im a bit shocked so many people here didnt recognize it. They were quite famous merely a few years ago, and touted as one of the very elite subwoofers made at the time.

from what he said, it's never seen power. Gunna be building a box for it this weekend. I'll get pics of the broken area

cracked basket. He did some research and found out an excellent way to fix it. it sat to cure for about 2 days and seems solid. Still gunna take NO chances and going to make a support for the motor when the box is built.

Its most likely gonna require a new frame, which means a recone. Even hanging the sub vertically, I would expect the frame to flex under the stress it will be seeing. Its only a 4-spoke after all, and it appears one entire spoke appears cracked all the way through.

It was cracked all the way through. Hoping the supports I add when the box is built will work for a while

It should be fine.

Cast aluminum is a bitch to weld, especially without disassembling the speaker to do it. The sub is worth the effort to rebuild though, again given the right person. The OP may not decide its worth it... if so, he wont have much trouble recouping his money from someone who would. It was a good deal.
Ive always had a soft spot for XXX 10's, as that size wasn't very common.

That's a hell of a nice sub. I'd definitely sink some cash into a new basket...

cant you tig cast aluminum? pretty easily? my brother does tig he said hes never tried it on a sub but it should be doable.

You can tig aluminum, but it being cast will make it more difficult (but no, not impossible). The hardest part would be not burning a hole in the soft parts while doing so. But yes, even that could be worked around I suppose.
