Try selling it as "art" , you may be able to recoup your loss.
I actually am kinda serious.

They look like Altec 414. I have a pair of 412C Biflex that can be reconed into a 414.

Dang, thats no way to have a fine pair of Altec woofers like that meet their demise

Did they just drop them out of the FedEx plane as it was flying over your house?

ZOMG. That is sad.

It does look like art, though, so there could be an upside. MOMA may be interested.

Reminds me of those "artist's conception" paintings of galaxies colliding, somehow...

I also thought it was art, that you found offensive. But maybe it is worse than that.

Way bummer. There's a pair of moose skulls that died in a similar lock, in Rock Harbor on Isle Royale. Almost as sad as the death of these Altecs.

Sorry to see this Nate, what are your options?

Save the motors, cans/covers, terminals, and maybe the voice coils on the formers. I'm sure the basket that isn't broken is also junk at this point, it's geometry is almost certainly whacked beyond repair.

GPA can rebuild them in new style frames, they won't look like the vintage greenies from behind, but the performance will be nearly spot on. Give GPA a call, the cost for a new pair of baskets might pleasantly surprise you.
