Bl 10" Basket question

[Maddenkid2011 3]

I just got my BL in the mail from Joseh K. and USPS has fucked my basket UPPPP

Could this be fixed my some very careful welding? I mean what else is there to do with it.....

[Maddenkid2011 3]

Also, how would i go about testing this to see if the internals are ohk too?

Would it be fine to just screw in or is it too bad...i think its too bad but whatever.

[stevemead08 752]

I would wait untill you file a claim with USPS. Was it insured?

[Maddenkid2011 3]

It was insured but im not sure how much he insured it for...

Im thinking that if i just put it in the boxx it'll be ohk. the crack only covers two of the screw holes so that leaves me with 6 and only 2-3 of the 12 spokes are detached so i might be good but idkkkkk

recone . you can try to jb weld it or somthing but good luck

[Maddenkid2011 3]

Ughhhhhh

I guess ill have to try and weld it.

[Duran 387]

Unless you can weld it perfectly you will have bad coil rub. I'd rebasket it.

damn, i was sooo close to pickin that sub up (if its the same one that was for sale here) glad i dodged that bullet. Sorry about the sub man.. sucks big time.

[NDMstang65 403]

dude you'll melt the surround off of it..welding = heat.

It's trashed, needs a complete rebuild...and there is absolutely no way that thing was shipped in the wooden crate with the foam that it came with either...unless they drove the truck over top of the sub lol.

There was nothing wrong with the sub before it was shipped.

Most likey, if you were to buy it, itd be at your house in one piece looking perfect. I guess im just not that lucky.

Yes. have to.

[NB50 206]

Yes, you need a recone also.

[Maddenkid2011 3]

Shit dude, thats a lot more money than i wanna spend....

Borken subs are such a bonerkill

[stevemead08 752]

Sell the motor and get some of your money back. or try to recone/basket it yourself.

[stevemead08 752]

Did you ever file a claim?

[klee7013 10]

filing a claim at usps is BS did it 5 times came back with 0 things acomplished and a waste of my time- 3 where i shipped a book out in a box and all the came back was the box wtf

other 1 where i recieved a package that had a big ass foot print on it again nothing solved

last one i received and envlope that had nothing in it - atleast the person i bought from this time had great service and sent it out for me again

f the usps

[Maddenkid2011 3]

Me and Joseph K. are still trying to figure out what to do....

Were not really sure what were gonna do as of right now but yes one of us is gonna file a claim.

Im probably jus gonna get my money back and say fuck it and buy a new one instead

[Duran 387]

A rebasket and recone really isn't hard if you study, there are MANY tutorials about it online.

But thats still another $120 for the basket and cone and for the amount ive already paid i cud jus buy a new BL

[trevino_88 0]

Ha that sucks it just happen to me but with my 15 btl man i felt like they rip me off (usps)i will rebasket and recone mine, for 170 i believe.. But i paid $50 for it was blown from one side..so i think is a good deal..

[Maddenkid2011 3]

So in the re-cone section on Fi's website...

If i choose a 12" basket for my 10", will they recone it to a 12?
