Hi folks some idiot pushed my speaker flying into my deck stand the other night and since then it is making a funny noise think he has cracked the cabinet can it be fixed at all?

If you have carpeted cabs then with some care you can peel the carpet back and either glue or replace the split side.
Vinyl cabs are tougher, you may possibly tear on removal.
Plastic cabs need to be fully stripped then plastic welded.

Give it a try, what do you have to lose?

Better odds that the driver or crossover has suffered damage, I'd suspect, sadly.

If it's actually the cab structure, take the bass driver out, and inspect internally. You could possibly put a patch of plywood or similar over the crack, and use PVA glue to hold it.

Sounds hopeful then. Grille off, unscrew eight screws, driver disconnectedd and stick your head in the box. Try to realign any bits which have moved, clamp if that helps, and glue whatever repair on you need. Allow time for glue to set. Good luck.
