JH13 UM Remold, is this a cracked shell? Or air bubbles?

Hi everyone,

 

Recently I cracked one of my JH13 shells and sent the whole thing to UM to be remolded.  When it came back, right now it has this problem. 

 

I can't really tell if it's air bubbles (in that case it doesn't bother me), or the inside is cracking.

 

I've done one remold from UM before and they were amazing, I'm not trying to bad talk UM in any way, I'm just wondering if this will be a problem.

 

Also the TWAG cable I'm using with it is sticking out a little bit, do you guys think this will be a problem?  Or should I send it back?

 

 

If possible, I really don't want to send it back.

 

Here are the pictures.  

 

Edit:  Clicking on it to see the bigger version really shows it better.

 

Notice the area beside the cable socket?

And this is about as far as I can get the cable in.

The sound coming from it seems to be ok...

Yep, that's a bit of glue and bubbles, nothing structural there.  Flush sockets tend to come out looking a bit less 'clean' than the recessed equivalents.

 

Don't try and force the cable in, you'd be best off snipping a bit off the end from your pins.

 

Happy listening.
