Sub bent, any damage?

Wouldn't it be nice if companies would stop using those cheap a$$ stamped baskets already?

Good build quality, to bend not crack or snap

Build quality has nothing to do with it. A cast frame would crack or snap, stamped baskets bend.

Nothing wrong with lower lines from manufacturers using stamped baskets. Cast frames have advantages, but so do copper coils, higher quality soft parts, etc. But these options also cost money, rendering the product no longer a cost conscience piece. I wish all amplifiers had gold plated internals too, but that would leave our hobby out of reach of many people financially.

that's crazy, looks like the basket was heated up and started warping.

if you have a big vise and a few pieces of wood you put one on each side and tighten the vise to hell..

sorry bro but a trash can is the only place i see this going. the basket is bent so bad the vc will rub no matter what as soon as it starts to move crooked...

I'd just send it to ID, and see what they can do for you with it. That or trash it.

Maybe drill it to a board, and see if that will straighten it out? Or get some bolts and just tighten them until it straightens back out, or either breaks...

thats not even a bad bend man, ive fixed worse before. put it in the box inverted and use a mallet to straighten it out. The frame isnt even bent it doesnt look like, just the gasket area. If one of the spokes were bent itd be a bigger problem.
