what to do with a 25 POUND subwoofer magnet-- broken intermezzo basket


Hello,

Soooo...long story short. In a rare moment of bad decision making after some wine and music,   I was rotating the 12" -- 30 pound driver in my Infinity Intermezzo 4.1t towers, bombardiered it on the floor, and cracked the basket beyond repair. (please see pictures for the embarrassing carnage)

I am left with the 26 pound magnet. I hate to just throw it away. 

What should I do with it? Buy a new basket, spider, and cone? 
Hold it up to someone's pacemaker and see what happens?
Paperweight?
Build a flux-capacitor?

The cone is the CMMD and unfortunately got a bit bent/distorted when removing.
6 Screw holes.

Thanks for the help as always!

It's obvious the driver is shot. Unless you can re-purpose the magnet, it's days as a driver are, unfortunately over.
All very good suggestions.

The Clinton's might need my services.

Fishing for scrap could turn up some interesting stuff

I actually like the idea of  a giant magnetic isolation feet/stand.. that could be kind of cool..!!! Going to have to think of some creative ways to do that.

ACRESVERDE--Listen to George, great explanation. Rotating heavy woofers is highly recommended. As to how much longer or better that makes the drivers last is open to debate. A month, a year, 10 years.. who knows
Fishing for interesting stuff on the Clintons, could get you killed.  Better stick to spinning woofers!
