See those 4 circles in a + pattern? Those are screws.

eBayer screwed you with packaging.

Wow... Good luck with that, but you pretty much have a nice paper weight now.

I got a Focal sub, 11", in a box, pre-made by Focal, from a seller on eBay.
When it arrived there was a clanking from inside the enclosure. To figure it out I had to open the box and I saw that the magnet was off the speaker basket. It will stay on if I place it back, by magnetic force.

What can I do to repair this? Is this going to cause any lowering of performance or long-term reliability?

Pics added see post #43

yes, it will lower the performance one hundred percent.

if it were me I would just get a sub that hasnt had the magnet bouncing around in the enclosure for 3 days (or however long it took to ship)

I take care of my shite so I wouldnt be happy with the sub how it came lol

if you can get it lined up...

By lined up do you mean the edges to the basket or the small pins on the magnet to corresponding places on the motor?

x2... i got a sub shipped to me where the mag became seperated from the top plate, used a hammer to line it back up (mag was pretty strong)... once i could push the conedown and not hear the coil rub i put some epoxy around the mag and the top plate

still using the sub today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

as long as the coil is in the gap of the motor and not rubbing the sides of the gap the sub will work, YOU need to find a way to make that happen if you want to use this particular sub again

yeah as posted above if you use some CA glue or some super strenght 2part epoxy you could get that thing back on track. being that the gap is so wide for the voice coil i don't see it being to much of an issue with the alignment. just over look how the pre glue marks are and try to match the location on both of them to get an idea of how it was previously mounted. take soem 2 part epoxy or ca glue and run a thick bead 1/2" from the outside rim of the magnet. you don't want to put the bead of glue close to the inner part of the magnet as when you squeeze both peices together glue will get into the gap.

good luck!
