There are 6 possible positions for the magnet to sit.....at one of them the different hole depths and the sheared off metal will line up correctly, or at least a lot better than the other 5. Thats the point where you can try sticking it back onto the frame. The magnet must clear the coil all the way around or she's pooched anyways, so you might as well try.....:dunno:

HTH

yea, looks like the top plate came off of the magnet pack...IMO, Pooched....lining that back up will be NEARLY impossible to get perfect....i guess its better than the bottom plate and pole piece commin out tho.

u may be able to fix it, but thats pretty messed up...gl man

IDK man i tried putting them back together by linning up the tape marks on the magnet with the tape marks on the other thing and still did the same rough moving thing. Do you think that a repair shop would be able to fix it? Know of any close by?

This seems all to common.. RE's quality really went to since they were bought by US Amps..

^ this is exactly what happened.. it's repairable, but even then it will still need a recone..

Probably be cheaper for you to buy another sub..

That's a pretty cool way for a subwoofer to go out. Very unusual. Sorry for your bad news.

Menace 02-28-2010 09:51 AM

Now my question is did u buy this sub new or used. if Used .. someone made the sub up from diff parts and over torqued the bots. Simile as that.. Or the sub was dropped. best bet is to tapp out the bots from the magnet and recone the sub. one the other hand from that it is toast. sorry bud

^ when did they get bought out because I thought my sub was older then that.

Haunz 02-28-2010 01:15 PM

Everything 2006 and up is the new RE...

If it's a 2005 or older then it's the old RE...


Either way, the epoxy on the topplate let go.. which happens sometimes..
